The Fellowship in Family Medicine – Integrated Medicine (F.F.M (IM)) is a 12-month, internationally accredited online family-medicine fellowship from Virtued Academy International, awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London, UK, and designed specifically for AYUSH doctors. It offers the same comprehensive primary-care breadth as the standard fellowship — whole-family care across adult, child, women's, geriatric and mental health, chronic disease and preventive care — framed for integrative practice and applied within your scope.

It carries 120 CPD points, includes lifetime access to 52 modules and 16 clinical case discussions, and lets you use the F.F.M (IM) suffix after your name on successful completion.

Family medicine is the primary-care specialty that provides continuous, comprehensive care for people of all ages — children, adults, women and the elderly — across common conditions, chronic disease, prevention and long-term follow-up. This fellowship builds this comprehensive primary-care understanding for AYUSH doctors, applied within their scope of practice.

The Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) is awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London, UK, and delivered by Virtued Academy International, an autonomous organisation registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. It is internationally accredited by IAOTH, UK and IRAP, and every certificate carries a QR code and serial number for independent verification.

Yes — family medicine is a strong, high-demand direction for AYUSH doctors, because BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and Siddha practitioners often provide first-contact, whole-family care and benefit greatly from a structured primary-care framework across all ages and systems. The Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) gives AYUSH doctors this advanced, structured understanding and a recognised credential (F.F.M (IM)), applied within their scope of practice.

The Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) helps you build structured, comprehensive primary-care understanding and a recognised credential, strengthening your confidence and profile for whole-family, clinic and integrative practice, within your scope. Actual outcomes depend on your setting and how you apply the learning, within your scope of practice and local regulations.

The Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) is designed for AYUSH doctors who hold at least a bachelor's degree in a healthcare field — including Ayurvedic (BAMS), homoeopathic (BHMS), Unani (BUMS) and Siddha doctors — and relevant allied-health graduates. It offers the same 12-month structure and 120 CPD points as the standard fellowship, framed for integrative practice, and on completion you may use the F.F.M (IM) suffix.

Yes — this is the family medicine fellowship designed for AYUSH doctors after BAMS or BHMS (and BUMS or Siddha). It gives you a comprehensive, structured understanding of whole-family primary care and a recognised credential (F.F.M (IM)), applied within your scope of practice. If you prefer a shorter, foundational option first, the Certificate in Family Medicine is open to all healthcare professionals.

If you are an MBBS or post-MBBS doctor, the right route for you is the standard Fellowship in Family Medicine (F.F.M), not the Integrated Medicine version, which is designed specifically for AYUSH doctors. The fee is the same across both tracks; what differs is the audience, curriculum framing and credential suffix.

If you want a shorter, foundational introduction, the Certificate in Family Medicine (C.F.M, 30 CPD, 3 months) is open to every healthcare student and professional, including AYUSH and allied-health practitioners. Many learners start with the certificate and progress to the Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine).

The Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) curriculum spans the full spectrum of primary care: foundational family medicine; chronic disease management across cardiology, neurology, endocrinology, nephrology and rheumatology; child health, women's health and geriatrics; mental health; lifestyle medicine and preventive care; and real-world clinical cases — framed for integrative practice and applied within your scope. It is delivered as 52 modules with 16 clinical case discussions.

You will learn a structured understanding of adult, paediatric, women's and geriatric care, chronic disease across multiple systems, mental-health and lifestyle counselling, and preventive care — applied within your scope as an integrative practitioner, with emphasis on comprehensive assessment, prevention and appropriate referral.

The Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) has a duration of 12 months and is fully online, with pre-recorded video lectures, downloadable notes and self-assessment quizzes and lifetime access. The 12 months is a minimum guide — you can study at your own pace with no extension fees.

Clinical observership is offered only with post-MBBS fellowships, so an in-hospital observership is not part of the Integrated Medicine fellowship. Instead, the programme is delivered fully online through structured lessons, 16 case-based studies and academic Q&A support, so you gain a comprehensive conceptual understanding through online learning.

The fellowship includes a Family Medicine Practice Toolkit — chronic-disease templates, counselling frameworks, preventive-care checklists and OPD follow-up systems — alongside case-based learning, monthly live doubt sessions and 24/7 academic Q&A support inside the student dashboard.

Both fellowships share the same 12-month structure, 120 CPD points and clinical breadth, but they are matched to different audiences: the Fellowship in Family Medicine (F.F.M) is for MBBS and post-MBBS doctors, while the Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) (F.F.M (IM)) is for AYUSH doctors, framed for their scope of practice, who may use the F.F.M (IM) suffix on completion. The fee is the same; the framing and suffix differ.

Choose the Certificate in Family Medicine (C.F.M, 30 CPD, 3 months) for an accessible, foundational introduction. Choose the Fellowship in Family Medicine (Integrated Medicine) (F.F.M (IM), 120 CPD, 12 months) if you are an AYUSH doctor who wants comprehensive, structured primary-care training and a stronger credential. Many learners begin with the certificate and progress to the fellowship.

Most online family-medicine courses are narrow or stop at a basic certificate, and few give AYUSH doctors a genuine advanced pathway.
