The NAMA Certification Board (NAMACB) is pleased to announce the launch of our Ayurvedic Doctor Board Certification Beta Exam!
This highly anticipated exam will take the Ayurvedic profession in the United States to new heights as it will be the highest-level certification possible for Ayurvedic professionals. The NAMACB has worked tirelessly, with the help of generous volunteers, to ensure that the exam is fair and credible and will establish an acceptable standard for Ayurvedic Doctors practicing in the U.S.
The live AD Board Certification Exam comes in two parts—the first part testing foundational principles and the second part testing Ayurvedic Doctor specific competencies. For the AD Beta Exam, we are testing only the second part of the AD Board Certification Exam.
We would like to invite those who are eligible to sign up for the exam at a reduced rate of $100!
Ayurvedic Practitioners who have been practicing Ayurveda for at least 5–10 years and have received additional training in either formal or informal ways may be eligible to sit for the Ayurvedic Doctor Board Certification Beta Exam. Please refer to the AD Beta Exam criteria to see if you qualify.
The AD Board Certification Beta Exam will be a pass/fail exam, meaning that applicants will find out whether they passed only after the number of exam takers has reached a critical mass and we have established the cut-off for a passing score. If you fail the AD Beta Exam, you will have an opportunity to retake the exam for $100 once it goes live (as opposed to the full price of $200).
You can apply here today: https://www.namacb.org/schedule-exam.
Here is the AD Study guide – this page also provides a link to a recording of our AD Beta Exam info session, which was held on January 17, 2022. As part of your exam preparation, you should also review the AD Reference Guide.
The deadline to apply for the Ayurvedic Doctor Board Certification Beta Exam is June 30, 2022. Once you have applied, you will have three months to schedule and take your exam.
Thank you for helping set a solid foundation for our profession to flourish in the United States! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to Laila Jewayni (NAMACB Administrator) at namacb@ayurvedanama.org.
