Useful Naturopathic Medicine Resource

For those who are or are not familiar with naturopathic medicine, this website may help you become so. Not only does this site answer routine questions, but they help one locate a qualified licensed naturopathic physician.

There is a large problem in the naturopathic community and that is due to qualifications. As there are only 4 accredited naturopathic schools in the USA, one must make sure their ND graduated from one of these schools. There are numerous online certificate courses for anyone to receive their 'nd' in a matter of weeks. This is absolutely absurd. One such course is the online Clayton College. They can provide information but no diagnosing or treatments. Yet the information they provide is most likely not close to accurate as they have no formal training or patient care experience.

The accredited schools:
Bastyr University - WA
National College of Naturopathic Medicine - OR
Southwest Naturopathic - AZ
University of Connecticut - CT

The training for one to receive a doctorate in naturopathic medicine is intense - and follows the same format as medical schools.
