Advance your pediatric practice with a 1-year fellowship.

The Fellowship in Pediatrics – Integrated Medicine (F.Pedia (IM)) is a 12-month, internationally accredited online pediatrics fellowship from Virtued Academy International, awarded by Virtued Eduversity, London, UK, and designed specifically for AYUSH doctors. It offers the same child-health breadth as the standard fellowship — growth and development, immunization, nutrition, common illnesses and preventive care — with integrative perspectives, framed for your scope of practice.

It carries 120 CPD points, includes lifetime access to the programme's structured modules and case-based learning, and lets you use the F.Pedia (IM) suffix after your name on successful completion.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and care of infants, children and adolescents — growth and development, immunization, nutrition, common illnesses and preventive care. This fellowship builds a structured understanding of child health for AYUSH doctors, with integrative perspectives, applied within their scope of practice.

The Fellowship in Pediatrics (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 — child health is a strong, high-demand area for AYUSH doctors, because growth and development, immunization, nutrition and common childhood conditions are seen constantly, and families increasingly seek structured, integrative child-health guidance. The Fellowship in Pediatrics (Integrated Medicine) gives BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and Siddha doctors a structured understanding of child health with integrative perspectives (including nutrition and lifestyle approaches to immunity and wellness), applied within their scope of practice.

The Fellowship in Pediatrics (Integrated Medicine) helps you build structured child-health understanding and a recognised credential, strengthening your confidence and profile for integrative child-health and wellness 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 Pediatrics (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 depth and 120 CPD points as the standard fellowship, framed for integrative practice.

Yes — this is the pediatrics fellowship designed for AYUSH doctors after BAMS or BHMS (and BUMS or Siddha). It gives you a structured understanding of child health with integrative perspectives and a recognised credential (F.Pedia (IM)), applied within your scope of practice. If you prefer a shorter, foundational option first, the Certificate in Pediatrics 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 Pediatrics (F.Pedia), 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 Pediatrics (C.PediA, 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 Pediatrics (Integrated Medicine).

The Fellowship in Pediatrics (Integrated Medicine) curriculum spans child health from neonates to adolescents: growth, development and behaviour; immunization and nutrition; common childhood illnesses; preventive and family-centred care; adolescent care; and an introduction to pediatric subspecialties — with integrative perspectives (including nutrition, lifestyle and wellness approaches to immunity), framed for your scope of practice. It is delivered through structured modules and case-based learning.

You will learn a structured understanding of pediatric assessment, growth and development, immunization and nutrition, common childhood illnesses, and preventive and family-centred care, with integrative perspectives — applied within your scope as an integrative practitioner, with emphasis on prevention, wellness, counselling and appropriate referral.

Yes. The fellowship covers immunization and vaccination concepts, growth and developmental assessment, and nutrition and preventive-health guidance across age groups — giving you a comprehensive, structured understanding to apply within your scope of practice and local regulations.

The Fellowship in Pediatrics (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 associated 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, quizzes and academic Q&A support, so you gain a comprehensive conceptual understanding through online learning.

The fellowship provides structured online lessons across the pediatric curriculum, supporting reading materials, self-study quizzes, academic Q&A support, and lifetime access to your certificate and study materials.

Both fellowships share the same 12-month structure and 120 CPD points, but they are matched to different audiences: the Fellowship in Pediatrics (F.Pedia) is for MBBS and post-MBBS doctors, while the Fellowship in Pediatrics (Integrated Medicine) (F.Pedia (IM)) is for AYUSH doctors, framed for their scope of practice with integrative perspectives. The fee is the same; the framing and suffix differ.

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

Most online pediatrics courses are short and stop at a basic certificate, and few give AYUSH doctors a genuine advanced, integrative pathway.
