Collaborating with the Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth (RAV), AIIA focused on capacity building and professional development for educators in the field of Ayurveda.

The CME programs were hosted by the Departments of Kriya Sharira, Rasa Shastra & Bhaishajya Kalpana, and Swasthavritta & Yoga. Their primary goal was to strengthen the academic and professional capabilities of Ayurveda teachers across India. By integrating traditional Ayurvedic knowledge with modern scientific approaches, the programs aimed to enrich the educational landscape of Ayurveda. Participants engaged in a variety of lectures and discussions, fostering a deeper understanding of both classical and contemporary practices in Ayurveda.

This segment featured 12 distinguished experts who delivered comprehensive lectures on topics such as Oja, Agni, Mana, Indriya, Prakriti, Nidra, and bioinformatics. The curriculum also included advanced methods for Nadi assessment and insights into the cardiorespiratory system. Innovative teaching techniques and advanced research tools, including multi-omics and transcriptome analysis, were emphasized. This blend of classical Ayurvedic principles with modern analytical methods aimed to enhance the teaching capabilities of the participants.
