This workshop is specially designed for Doctors, Dieticians and Nutritionists who would like to heal their patients with plant-based nutrition. SHARAN has been working in the field of whole food plant-based nutrition for over 19 years and is a leader in this field in India. This training program will be limited to a maximum of 12 participants and will guide you through the intricacies of consultations and give you a format that can be used in order to understand the needs of the patient, do an in-depth consultation, and give them a comprehensive plan to prevent and reverse lifestyle diseases through plant-based nutrition

Qualifications for Applicants (eligibility):

1. You must be a registered medical practitioner or registered dietician or nutritionist or have qualifications in plant based nutrition.
2. You must have a thorough knowledge of SHARAN principles of nutrition through SHARAN online programs, Dr Nandita Shah’s book or our YouTube channel and website etc.
3. Whole plant based-diet must be your own personal practice.
4. You must have a reasonable knowledge about healthy cooking to be able to convey this to your patients.

This training is intense and encompasses 11 half days from 10.00 am – 1.30 pm IST daily. There will be at least 2 hours of homework every day. Doctors and Nutritionists will be in separate breakout rooms as needed.

After the training, you may apply to be a consultant with SHARAN as well as use this knowledge to consult with your own patients. The training does not guarantee you a position with SHARAN. Currently, we do not have any room for new nutritionists but may add doctors to our team.
