What kind of education and training do Naturopathic doctors have?

Naturopathic doctors have eight years of post graduate training at an accredited Naturopathic college. To enter the college you must have a university degree that includes two years of pre-medical studies. The naturopathic program is a full-time, four-year program. In the first two years, we study advanced medical and clinical sciences similar to those studied by medical doctors. In the final two years, we study advanced medical diagnostics; naturopathic medical therapeutics; and receive extensive clinical experience. Naturopathic doctors are the only health care professionals that have extensive training in natural medicine as well as the ability diagnose disease using conventional methods.  more
