A Unique Academic Concept

Excellence in Ayurveda

MedVaidya training prepares you to practice independently in your own practice, in a group practice or in a clinic. It imparts the knowledge and skills to practice Ayurvedic preventive medicine and to diagnose and treat acute and chronic pathologies according to Ayurveda at primary care level. It provides a solid foundation for further specialization in Ayurveda.

MedVaidya is a modular training program based on the structure defined by OdA AM (Organisation of the world of work for Alternative Medicine) in charge of regulating the Swiss federal diploma in the field of alternative medicine. 

“The optimal way to learn Ayurveda is to have the curriculum rooted in the original and classical knowledge sources, to submit to a pedagogy that promotes analytical and contemplative learning, and to get trained to translate the gained knowledge for real and contemporary medical needs. MedVaidya is conceptualized, created and implemented by keeping these elements in mind. It is meant for the true seekers who are not ready for any compromise”

Dr. U. Indulal
MedVaidya Program Director
