The Ayurveda Department is proud to offer an active residency program to its community members as part of our Advancement Program. Residency programs focus on advanced clinical training within the boundaries of their department tradition with some interdepartmental training. Residency training allows practitioners to aim for practice mastery built upon exposure to advanced clinical skill sets and the development of specialty training. We strive to create a healthy residency experience with enthusiastic residents who are clear about their long-term career goals and pleased with the quality of their training. The goal is to develop a master level of clinical competency within their scope of practice.

Residency programs offer advanced clinical training rarely offered in most school programs, specialty training programs, didactic clinical courses from experienced instructors, national certification exam prep courses, and continued education credits. Residencies are an opportunity to dig deeper into your practice skills or to develop a specialty practice. Residents can choose to dedicate their residency to one advisor for specialization or cycle through different advisors for set periods, allowing exposure to various skill sets and specialties. Residents will select a primary faculty, but they can have several from the same department or from across departments for interdisciplinary studies. Residents will participate in lectures, workshops, and other educational sessions to deepen their knowledge.

To enroll, community members must upgrade their community membership to Residency Program status. Contact Kirsten Huntley-Goode (Ayurveda Director) or Casey Roberts (Administrative Director) for assistance.
