I took Robbie Svoboda's correspondence course years ago--and back  
then there was little else. Of course it only gave you theory. For  
clinical knowledge you had to attend classes at the Ayurvedic Institute.

Now you have many more options, but most will involve hands on study.  
I think the best program I have heard of is at Bastyr in Seattle.  
They actually have a set up with Ayurvedic colleges in India so you  
can do some practicum in India. Dave Matthew's wife recently  
graduated from there IIRC.

There is also, from what I have heard, some excellent (perhaps the  
best) Ayurvedic teaching coming from Vaidya Mishra--but as far as I  
know he offers no correspondence courses.

There is also a four year Tibetan Medicine program in Mass.

The problem with Ayurvedic certification in this country is that last  
I heard you cannot get reimbursement from insurance companies-- 
Chinese medicine is the only modality which would allow that.

He is a Professor of Eastern Studies at the Maine College of Art. He speaks
fluent Hindi, is proficient in Sanskrit, and spends a good chunk of every
year in India, where he has interviewed most of the swamis and gurus in the
country. He's considered an expert in the Shankaracharya succession
controversy.

You mean Donahue. He is outside the movement but still meditates.
