Syllabus
Every Hour. Accounted For.
How The Living Ayurveda Curriculum is structured and documented: the hours, the practice cycle, and how practice is monitored, shared, and recorded.
A Practice-Centered Model.
The live lesson is the anchor. Each 90-minute lesson comes with at least three hours of required weekly practice, often more, since many practices unfold over several days. The practice is completed, shared, and discussed. That is where most learning happens.
Every course follows this same 90-minute-plus-three-hour cycle, every week. It does not vary by subject.
Four steps, every week, for every student. The same trail applies whether it is reviewed by our faculty, an accreditor, NAMACB, or a partner institution evaluating transfer credit.
Write. A written record of the completed practice: a reflection, case note, treatment plan, or assigned work tied to that week's lesson.
Share. The work is posted in a monitored community space (Practice Reflections, a class forum, or a submission portal), visible to faculty and, where appropriate, classmates.
Discuss. The submission gets a response: a faculty comment, a peer reply, or a question. The record shows engagement.
Prove. A completion confirmation is generated and emailed to the student, and logged by the registrar. It is a timestamped, retrievable record that the practice was completed, not just assigned.
Write, share, discuss, prove. This four-step trail lets monitored independent practice stand alongside live instruction as documented instructional time.
Every client encounter in the Clinical Internship produces two documented hours: a live hour and a written hour, each proven separately.
Live Class. One hour of live, online Clinical Internship class, built around a real client encounter. Never recorded. Attend in real time to complete it.
Assignment. One hour of written follow-up on the same encounter: case documentation, a treatment plan, or clinical analysis, completed after the live session.
Submit for Review. The assignment is submitted to faculty, reviewed, and logged. It is the same write, share, discuss, prove trail, applied to clinical work.
One client encounter = one hour of class + one hour of assignment = two documented clinical hours, each independently provable.
Every course follows the same minimum structure: a 90-minute live lesson once a week for nine weeks, plus at least three hours of required weekly practice.
Every client encounter — 75 for the AHC path, an additional 75 for the AP path — produces two documented hours: one hour of live online Clinical Internship class, never recorded, plus one hour of written assignment on the same encounter, submitted for review. This is separate from the in-person hours: 40 for AHC, an additional 140 for AP, for a combined 180 in-person hours at the AP level. They are completed through our NAMACB Bridge Pathway for students pursuing board eligibility. Clinical reasoning also runs through courses such as Chikitsa, Bṛṁhaṇa, Panchakarma Theory, and the Vikriti Vijñāna sequence.
Online Clinical Internship hours (class plus assignment) and in-person hours, combined. This is the figure a certification board or partner institution asks for.
A Proctored Exam.
Completing every course is not the same as being ready to practice. Every AHC or AP candidate sits a comprehensive final exam for their level, proctored under conditions comparable to the NAMACB board exam.
This is the final checkpoint, not another course. It shows that a certified student has met the standard the curriculum teaches.
Membership gives you the curriculum. Certification adds everything above this line: tracked hours, required weekly practice, the documentation trail, review, and a proctored final exam that holds every candidate to the same standard.
That is ongoing work on our side, so it is a Registrar request.
Every course, at the standard 40.5-hour minimum, across both tracks.
