Acharya Charaka in his classical treatise 'Charaka samhita' has described qualities to look for in an Ayurveda scholar in order to accept him/her as guru to obtain knowledge of Ayurveda. 'Acharya pariksha' (आचार्य परीक्षा) has been discussed in vimanastana after 'Shastra pariksha' (शास्त्र परीक्षा) by Acharya Charaka.  

Acharya Charaka says that the ideal Ayurveda preceptor should have clear knowledge of the subject and practical experience. One should be diligent, dexterous, virtuous, with skilled hand, well equipped, possessing all the senses in normal condition, acquainted with constitutions, well- versed in courses of emergency management and quick actions, having his knowledge uncensured, free from ego, envy, anger, forbearing, paternal to disciples, having characteristics of a good teacher and fit for imbue understanding.<blockquote>ततोऽनन्तरमाचार्यंपरीक्षेत;</blockquote><blockquote>तद्यथा-पर्यवदातश्रुतंपरिदृष्टकर्माणंदक्षंदक्षिणंशुचिंजितहस्तमुपकरणवन्तंसर्वेन्द्रियोपपन्नंप्रकृतिज्ञंप्रतिपत्तिज्ञमनुपस्कृतविद्यमनहङ्कृतमनसूयकमकोपनंक्लेशक्षमंशिष्यवत्सलमध्यापकंज्ञापनसमर्थंचेत एवङ्गुणोह्याचार्यःसुक्षेत्रमार्तवोमेघइवशस्यगुणैः \सुशिष्यमाशुवैद्यगुणैः सम्पादयति|| (Char.
