EDUCATION AND TRAINING
A Licensed naturopathic physician (N.D.) attends a four-year graduate level naturopathic
medical school and is educated in all of the same basic sciences as an M.D. but also studies
holistic and nontoxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease prevention
and optimizing wellness. In addition to a standard medical curriculum, the naturopathic
physician is required to complete four years of training in the areas of clinical nutrition,
homeopathic medicine, botanical medicine, psychology, physical medicine, and counseling
(to encourage people to make lifestyle changes in support of their personal health). A
naturopathic physician takes rigorous professional board exams so that he or she may be
licensed by a state or jurisdiction as a primary care general practice physician. Additional
information on naturopathic schools can be found at www.aanmc.org. For a Curricula
