How I Completed my Ayurveda Practitioner Certificate

Renu Joshi is a current SCU student who lives and works in San Diego, California. Renu is in our Level 2 Ayurvedic Practitioner Certificate program; after completing the Level 1, Ayurvedic Wellness Certificate program. This program strongly emphasizes clinical practice and understanding of Ayurvedic pathology, diagnosis, and herbal medicine. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to determine the vikriti (imbalances) of an individual's body and mind; and will be able to design a comprehensive treatment plan for clients to realign imbalanced states of the doshas (natural energy), agni (digestive fire), dhatus (tissues), and malas (waste products), using herbs, diet, lifestyle, yoga, and body therapies. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Ayurvedic Medical Association Certification Board's Ayurveda Practitioner Certification Exam.

Before starting at SCU, Renu wasn't sure how she could return to school while working. When she found our online/in-person hybrid program, everything fell into place for her. She has been most excited about working one on one with our faculty in the clinic. All the concepts she learns in her virtual classes come to fruition while working alongside our accomplished faculty and staff.
