Understanding MedVaidya

Vaidya

Vaidya is the title of the traditional ayurvedic doctors in India. It is for the depth and authenticity of the teaching that this title was granted to the MedVaidya concept by masters who are the reference of authenticity in India.

The Title

The MedVaidya title is intended for an international elite of Ayurveda professionals who will be able to contribute to the dissemination of this knowledge system according to its true principles.

The Training

The MedVaidya concept serves as a professional training adapted to the clinical practice in contemporary health systems.

The MedVaidya training stands out for:

  • respecting the transmission of authentic knowledge: lectures by traditional Indian masters, study of classical texts, Sanskrit and traditional Yoga
  • avant-garde technologies and teaching methods: interactive e-teaching, e-workshops, peer-instruction in the classroom, personalized mentoring and coaching.
    • Interactive e-teaching before the classroom sessions, which favors individual progress by taking into account the needs, pace and availability of each student. It allows students to have the same level of knowledge of the subject matter during the interactive classes and links them in a peer network. Regular testing allows for constant self-assessment and monitoring of each student’s progress by the teachers.
    • Peer-instruction in the classroom under the guidance of the teacher, to deepen the subject matter taught. It allows a differentiated and accelerated integration of new knowledge through the active and interactive nature of the learning process as well as the optimal mobilization of each student’s resources in the interactivity and transfer of knowledge and skills within the group.
