This course also furnishes a foundation in microbiology, embryology, obstetrics, and gynecology. This course represents an untold saga of different world views of many eminent biologists and naturalists whose viewpoints have all but been removed from the textbooks. |

COURSE GOALS & OBJECTIVESThe entire course of study (A.S.A./ P.N.M.A. & D.N.M. & Ph.D. Ayurveda) prepares one to practice primary care, wellness, and natural medicine as a ministerial practitioner of conscience. The two-course programs are also designed to prepare students to pass Naturopathic National Boards and qualify for Vocational and Medical Authorization via (A.N.C.B., A.A.P.N.A., N.A.I.C., and S.M.O.K.H.) To ensure continued career success, the graduate will continue to learn new and current information related to techniques, trends, and methods for career development in natural medicine and related fields. The graduate will consider this continuing education a fundamental part of spiritual and professional growth and development. The Undergraduate Associate of Sacred Arts in Traditional Natural Medicine: Ayurveda (A.S.A.) (2,595 hours): There are 1,245 clock hours of academic (online) study, coupled with 1,350 hours of seminars, workshops, and clinical observations. Each candidate is appraised on individual status. Healing arts practitioners, e.g., Massage therapists, Nutritionists, Acupuncturists, Nurses, etc., may apply for the advanced position and life experience. The Graduate Philosophy Doctorate Program in Sacred Ayurveda Medicine (Ph.D.) (2,000 hours): There are 1400 clock hours of academic (online) study and 600 hours of seminars, workshops, and clinical observations. Practitioners of the healing arts, e.g., N.D.s, M.D.s, DOs, D.C.s, and others of advanced standing, can apply for credits and waivers. Diploma program graduates require only 300 hours of clinical observations (2,000 hours total). Why the two Programs? The Diploma program allows one to make a career change with the candidate having only high school knowledge of biology and chemistry. The Sacred Ayurveda Doctorate program is based on the same subjects as in a traditional medical school but on a different premise of content, as rote memorization of facts is not the desired goal but rather personal integration of the subject matter that can be applied immediately and clinically.
