Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine
National University of Health Sciences, the nation's premier institution for complementary and alternative medical education, offers a doctor of naturopathic medicine program (ND), which will prepare you to practice as a licensed naturopathic physician. National's ND program provides you with a rigorous curriculum that blends thorough scientific foundation with comprehensive training in traditional naturopathic treatments.
Integrative Teaching
As a student in the naturopathic physician program at National,
you will study the same basic sciences as an MD, but you will learn
holistic and natural approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis
on disease prevention and optimizing wellness. You'll study
alongside students from other professional degree programs and
thereby have the opportunity to share perspectives and
experiences.
Unparalleled Career Preparation
You will spend a full year in the clinical internship component of
your program. NUHS offers naturopathic clinical internship
opportunities that allow students to complete a full-fledged
naturopathic internship on our main campus. Our ND internship
program is conducted in a framework appropriate to a university
setting in our state, and provides experience in high quality
naturopathic care. Not only that, you'll spend your internship in
our on-campus integrative medical clinic, learning how to
collaborate with professionals from other medical specialties.
Academic Superiority
For entry to practice in the naturopathic profession, you will
take rigorous professional board exams. Demonstrating proficiency
through these exams is a necessary step to being licensed in any
jurisdiction that regulates the practice of naturopathic
medicine.
