Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Doctors are required to complete an undergraduate degree (typically four years) followed by a four year medical degree at an accredited naturopathic medical school. Prior to graduation they must successfully complete a set of standardized North American board and jurisdictional exams. Once in practice, Naturopathic Doctors stay current by completing continuing education hours which are required to maintain an active licence.
Naturopathic Doctors are trained as primary healthcare physicians, focused on finding the underlying cause of disease, assisting the body’s innate capacity to heal, and utilizing natural forms of medicine and preventative medicine when possible.
