Ah, I get where you’re coming from! It’s totally reasonable to want to make sure the Ayurvedic doctor you’re consulting is legit without making it awkward. Alright, finding an image of a BAMS certificate online might be tricky 'cause institutions don’t usually put sample certificate images just out there for everyone. That being said, there are few things you could keep in mind to verify authenticity.
So, firstly, these certificates should ideally have the name of the university or the educational institution prominently displayed. This is usually accompanied by the university’s seal or insignia, which lends authority. Signature of the respective authorities usually the registrar, dean or a similar title, as well as a date of issue. These are details you should keep an eye out for. Also, the certificate should mention the degree “Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery” or the abbreviation BAMS somewhere.
Oh, and some universities, especially in India, have started incorporating security features like holograms, microtext or QR codes to ensure genuineness. If the certificate has a QR code, scanning it could verify if it’s been issued officially by the institution.
If you’re still unsure, maybe, you could contact the institution from where the doctor claims to have graduated. Providing them with some info (like the doctor’s name, date of issue), they might confirm if they actually graduated.
I know you don’t wanna offend anyone but remember, your health and comfort in the practitioner’s credibility is really important. Most qualified practitioners would understand your concerns and maybe even help you with any doubts you have. Stay healthy and I wish you all the best in your Ayurveda journey!
