Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks Dr Barve. For this thought provoking information. Really there many colleges in India which are substandard and Govt Apathy is also added. The BAMS course shaould be fortified by inclusion of the courses like the Bio Informatics, Pharmaceutical chemistry, Clinical research and Bio technology Research methodology etc. so that the Graduate from this course will be able to take up any one route among these, besides the clinical practice. This will definately create an momentum in the Ayurveda world . These graduates will be eligible not only in the Post graduation courses of Ayurveda but also in the above mentioned advanced subjects. This is my thought I want to share with you all. Dattatreya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
