What training do registered naturopathic doctors have?

Naturopathic doctors go through extensive medical training and examination before they are legally allowed to practice. They require a Bachelor of Science degree or a minimum of three years of university education in pre-medical sciences to enter one of the five naturopathic medical schools in North America. The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine is Canada’s leading accredited school for the naturopathic program. The program is four years long and includes a one year intensive clinical rotation. Midway through the program, and upon graduation from any of the colleges, two sets of NPLEx licensing exams (coordinated by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NABNE)) must be successfully completed before naturopathic doctors are allowed to practice.  more
