An India-UK partnership has announced two training courses for doctors trained in Ayurveda or homoeopathy.
Each course will last six months.
One will teach skills for supporting patients during emergencies.
The other will teach ways to help people protect their health and make healthier choices.
The courses are for graduates and postgraduates in BAMS or BHMS.
Learners will have lessons and supervised practice.
They will also be assessed.
The organisers say safe, good-quality patient care is a main goal.
