About
Students will travel through three locations during the duration of the program; two weeks will be spent in the capital city of Dehra Dun. Students will then spend one week in the hill town of Rishikesh. The last week will be spent in Patti, a rural village. Traveling through multiple towns means that students will be able to experience a variety of sites in their clinical rotations, from a primary care clinic in a rural village to the tertiary care hospital run by the state government. Students will gain first-hand experience in methods of diagnosis and treatment as they work with clinical practitioners who use Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Homeopathy and Allopathy. Clinical immersion will be supplemented with daily yoga classes and lectures and workshops on traditional medicine.
