How long is the course of study for a board-certified, degreed medical professional to earn an ND degree, and what does it entail?
Many osteopaths, chiropractors and medical doctors, as well as acupuncturists and nurse practitioners seek to expand their knowledge and their practice with a degree in naturopathic medicine. And many are eligible for advanced standing credit upon entering any of the AANMC-member schools. The type and amount of advanced standing will depend upon the type of medical degree already achieved (MD, DO, DC, etc.), and on the college attended. Advanced standing for students who hold one of these medical degrees can vary anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years. For more information on advanced standing, or to ask an admissions advisor more detailed questions, read our editor’s response in our Questions Answered column.
