Dear Professional Members,

We are already three months into the new year! Can you believe it?!

This is a friendly reminder that you have nine months left in the 2020–2021 PACE cycle to  submit your PACE requirements—until December 31, 2021, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

If you do not submit your PACE requirements on time, your NAMACB Professional Certification will immediately lapse and you will lose your NAMA Professional Membership.

All individuals who were already certified Professional Members at the start of a two-year PACE cycle MUST complete a total of 30 credits by the end of that cycle.*† Two of those credits must be acquired by passing the current Ethics Quiz (see the link provided below); the remaining 28 credits should be earned by completing courses on various PACE-approved topics such as those listed below:

• Ethics Quiz: 2 credits 2020–2021 Ethics Quiz Find Ethics Quiz Here →

• Courses

  • Topics in Ayurveda: 28 credits maximum, 19 minimum

  • Topics in Sister-Sciences: 15 credits maximum

  • Topics in Wellness: 10 credits maximum

*Exemption: Ayurvedic professionals who were certified during a PACE cycle, but after the first six months of the first year of that cycle, are exempt from the requirements for that cycle, except for the Ethics Quiz, which must be passed by all certified Ayurvedic professionals who were certified anytime during that cycle.

†Depending on when in that cycle the individual joined NAMA as a Professional Member, adjustments will be made to these requirements.

All categories for acceptable PACE submissions are on the Submit PACE Credits page.
