Ph.D. in Shalya Tantra (Ayurvedic Surgery) is a specialized doctoral program that blends traditional knowledge with contemporary surgical methods, emphasizing Ayurvedic surgical techniques and procedures. According to Ayurvedic writings, the program, which usually lasts 3-5 years, entails a thorough study of surgical ideas, diagnostic techniques, treatment protocols, and post-surgical care. Candidates get practical experience with both conventional and non-surgical treatments, such as Kshar Sutra (alkaline thread therapy) and Agnikarma (thermal cautery). Graduates can contribute to the development of Ayurvedic medicine and its incorporation into contemporary healthcare procedures by working as Ayurvedic surgeons, researchers, or lecturers.
