The field of Ayurvedic education takes a significant step forward with the release of Research Methodology and Medical Statistics for BAMS Students, a comprehensive academic resource crafted exclusively for Third Professional BAMS scholars. Authored by an expert team—Dr. Devraj J. Saroj, Dr. Pooja Upadhyay, Dr. Amit Mishra, and Dr. Neha Prajapati—this book aligns meticulously with the NCISM-prescribed AyUG-RM syllabus, ensuring students receive structured, relevant, and examination-oriented knowledge.
What sets this book apart is its unique ability to integrate the classical wisdom of Ayurveda with the precision and analytical rigor of modern scientific research. Complex concepts—often challenging for undergraduate students—are presented in a simple, pointwise, and methodical format. From understanding research fundamentals to exploring advanced statistical techniques, the book walks learners through every stage of academic inquiry. Each chapter is enriched with Ayurvedic examples: designing trials for herbal formulations, evaluating Prakriti-wise disease patterns, interpreting data, and assessing clinical outcomes with appropriate statistical tools.
The authors emphasize practical learning, offering guided explanations on research ethics, topic selection, literature search methodologies, reference management, and the use of essential platforms like PubMed, AYUSH Research Portal, and basic statistical software. The addition of model question papers further equips students to prepare confidently for university examinations.
Beyond academics, this book inspires students to adopt an evidence-based mindset—encouraging them to critically analyze research, participate in scientific discussions, and contribute to the global validation of Ayurveda. By fostering both conceptual clarity and practical competence, the book aims to shape future Ayurvedic practitioners who are not only knowledgeable but also research-oriented, innovative, and ready to lead integrative healthcare forward.
