Panchakarma Technicians administer the Ayurvedic treatments for detoxification, cleansing and rejuvenation under the supervision of an Ayurvedic Practitioner. The training consists of Five to Six weekend trainings (varies), and two years of apprenticeship training in the MahaSiddha Dharma Ayurveda clinics. This training is offered every other year.

Apprenticeship Training in Clinic
For a period of 2 years, trainees will participate in administering panchakarma under the guidance of the MSD Ayurveda Clinic Staff and Ayurvedic Practitioner. This is a crucial aspect of the training as it provides experience with a variety of clients as well as ongoing feedback and education from the MSD staff.

Teachers and Students
The Panchakarma Technician Training course is led by Hakim Pawo, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Kali Ma and Panchakarma Technicians, Aruna and Satya Shiva.
Students are awarded opportunity to attend by application or invitation only; must be a participant in MSD, be accepted through the application process and able to demonstrate an understanding of Doshas, Agni and Aama.

Weekend Trainings
Each weekend training is $400, and is offered approximately once a month, or once every other month. Trainings begin Friday night at 6pm and end Sunday night before or after 6pm. Dates are announced one month in advance for upcoming trainings, in order to support advance travel plans.

Graduation
Students graduate upon completing the five-six sections, the two year training-apprenticeship, and having demonstrated proficiency in the practices. They are then certified as MSD Panchakarma Technicians. This certifies them to practice Panchakarma UNDER THE SUPERVISION of a qualified Ayurvedic Practitioner.
