Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment, and optimal
health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that encourage individuals’ inherent self-healing
process. The practice of naturopathic medicine includes modern and traditional, scientific, and empirical methods.
Naturopathic physicians are trained as primary care providers and take all of the prerequisites required for any type of medical school. We study the same basic and clinical sciences, including pharmaceuticals. In addition, naturopaths are trained to treat the whole person and address the underlying causes that are contributing to one's health concerns.
