U.S. medical schools are more than glad to help. “Ayurveda is set to make a landmark entry into mainstream U.S. medical education” according to this report.

The course is the result of four years' hard work by Riverdale, Md.-based urologist Navin Shah, who took on the challenge of bringing Ayurveda to mainstream U.S. medical education after a request from erstwhile Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, he told India-West.

"Vajpayee wanted me to propagate Ayurveda," he said. "I told him the best way is to go through the medical schools, because we want to enter through the main door of the mainstream, which is (the) medical
school."

The med schools came through. Several are preparing to offer courses to medical students and house officers. Dr. Shah even foresees Ayurveda achieving subspecialty status in the field of Internal Medicine.
