Naturopathic Doctors are regulated in Ontario under the Drugless Therapy Act and are licensed by the Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy-Naturopathy (BDDTN).

Yes. In Ontario, Naturopathic Doctors must be registered with the Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy-Naturopathy (BDDT-N). To be registered, NDs must have graduated from an approved school of Naturopathic Medicine and must have successfully completed the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX) and Ontario board examinations. Only registered Naturopathic Doctors can use the ND designation.
