New Board Member, Student Open House, and more

Why is Accreditation Important?

* Provides assurance that programs maintain rigorous standards
* Encourages wide acceptance and respect for Ayurvedic medicine
* Preserves the heritage and ensures future success of the profession and its practitioners

Events

It’s not too late! If you are a student (prospective students and recent grads welcome too!), don’t forget our first-ever Student Open House & Q+A Session is this Wednesday, September 16. Remember, this event will not be recorded—it’s an informal session to learn more about our work and ask your questions—so plan to attend live!
