Dear aspirant


Thank you for approaching counsellors at CareerGuide.com. Ayurvedic physician is a very important career in todays scientific world. Lots of people are afraid of English medicines because of its side effects and therefore more people tend to take ayurvedic medicines to be safe from side effects. To become an ayurvedic physician, it is important to have studied maths and science including biology until 10th class. Added to this, students should also have studied maths, biology and chemistry in 11th and 12th class. AN over all minimum of first class pass is required to study a bachelors course in ayurvedam.

1. Diploma in ayurveda - This is only a diploma course and usually doesnt qualify you as an ayurvedic physician but it will allow you to work in ayurvedic industry in various roles. Students who later want to be a doctor in ayurved can also study BAMS after this diploma course. This diploma is usually run for three years although very few colleges offer one year diploma. A one year diploma will give you lab technician roles in ayurvedic pharmacy and clinics and even in ayurvedic hospitals.

2. BAMS Bachelor in ayurvedic medicine and surgery - This is a professional course like that of the BHMS or the MBBS, BDS. and this is the only course that will qualify you to work as a physician. Completing this course, you will also be required to do a one year internship similar to that of an MBBS degree and after which you can perform your own ayurvedic surgery and treatment for patients. As MBBS students get license upon their conferral of degree these ayurvedic graduates with a BAMS degree too get their license.
These two are basic undergraduate qualifications in ayurvedic practice but there are many post graduate qualifications in ayurvedic practice.
1. PG Diploma in ayurveda - Students who completed either diploma or BAMS degree are qualified to do this PG Diploma in ayurveda. While most often diploma pass outs only choose to do this PG DIPLOMA program. This could be either a one year or two year diploma depending on the college and course you study. Completing this diploma you can be qualified to work in pharmacy, college, labs and clinics.

2. MD Ayurveda - This is the next option you can do. Students completing a BAMS degree ofetn choose to do this course only. This is again a professional qualification and completing this you can work as a senior ayurvedic physician in hospitals or private clinics.
