The Ayurveda Association of British Columbia has published Professional Title Usage Standards for Ayurvedic practice in British Columbia — a resource designed to support credential transparency, public trust, and professional clarity in an unregulated healthcare environment. The document explains: - Why Ayurveda is currently unregulated in BC and Canada - The difference between educational credentials and verified professional titles - How AABC credential verification and “Registered” designations work - Guidance around the use of titles such as “Doctor,” “Vaidya,” and practitioner-level designations - Why title integrity matters for future professional recognition and regulation This resource is intended for practitioners, educators, students, and the public seeking clarity around professional representation in Ayurveda.

Hello, I wanted to share two recent resources from the Ayurveda College of British Columbia and the Ayurveda Association of British Columbia that may be of interest to you: Regulatory Framework for Ayurveda in British Columbia https://ayurvedacollege.ca/about/regulatory-framework AABC Professional Standards Framework https://ayurvedaassociationbc.ca/professional-standards.html These documents outline the current regulatory context for Ayurveda in BC and the professional standards framework being developed to support responsible professional growth in Canada. Recognizing that these are substantial reference documents, audio versions are on both websites for those who may prefer to listen rather than read. On behalf of the Boards of Directors and Advisors of ACBC and AABC, we would welcome these resources being shared within the broader Ayurveda community, as well as any thoughts or feedback you may wish to offer. Thanks, Shaughn Jenson
