What is a Naturopathic Doctor (ND)?
|
A licensed naturopathic physician (ND) attends a four-year, graduate-level naturopathic medical school and is educated in all of the same basic sciences as an MD. However, in addition, they also study holistic and nontoxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease prevention and building wellness. A naturopathic physician is required to complete four years of training in clinical nutrition, homeopathic medicine, botanical medicine, psychology, and counseling (to be able to help people make the lifestyle changes necessary to improve their health). |
