Ayurveda student gets selected to Oxford University to study MSc in evidence-based medicine in a first
India Today
Dr. Arshath Jyothi from AIIA has become the first-ever Ayurveda student to get selected to Oxford University to study MSc in evidence-based medicine.
Dr. Arshath Jyothi, an alumnus and current research fellow at the All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), an autonomous institute under the Ministry of AYUSH, has become the first-ever Ayurveda student from India to get selected at Oxford University for an MSc in evidence-based medicine.
The cardinal aim of Ayurveda is to restore the induvial balance between body, mind and spirit. Though Ayurveda is the oldest system of health science in India and dates back to 3000 years, it often struggles to find ground among modern medicine. The opportunity to study Ayurveda specifically as an evidence-based medical field is expected to help Dr. Jyothi break common myths against Ayurveda.
After completing his degree in Ayurveda from AIIA, Dr. Jyothi is now pursuing a research fellowship from the same institute, aiming to bring in a synergy between Ayurveda and the latest technology. He will be joining the programme at Oxford University from September 2022.
It was David Nunan, Course Director at Oxford University’s MSc in Evidence Based Health Care, who called Dr. Arshath Jyothi as “the first Ayurveda student” in Oxford.
Dr. Jyothi is currently working as a research fellow in the department of Kayachikitsa, in a public health initiative project entitled ‘Musculo Skeletal Pain Management Through Ayurveda Intervention’, coordinated by AIIA Director Prof. (Dr) Tanuja Manoj Nesari.
Dr Arshath Jyothi’s continuing studies at Oxford University will surely boost his work in the field of Ayurveda.
Oxford University ranks number one in the world for medical sciences and is home to the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) which is a part of Oxford University's Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences.
