This is the third three-part series led by the Research Committee, designed to bridge Ayurveda's rich clinical data with the formats recognized by the scientific community. This series is specifically tailored for Ayurvedic practitioners who are clinicians, not researchers, providing them with the necessary tools to navigate the world of research literacy.

Case Study Writing: Master the structure and requirements for writing compelling case studies.
Research Ethics: Gain an understanding of the ethical standards required for clinical research and publication.
Publication Skills: Learn the process for submitting work to peer-reviewed journals.
Session Logistics:
Format: Three 90-minute virtual sessions held via Zoom.
Dates: October 13, November 10, and December 8, 2026.
