Training Received
by Naturopathic Doctors
With at least seven
years of post-secondary education, Naturopathic Doctors
are trained to identify the underlying cause of disease
and to help the body heal itself using natural methods,
not prescription drugs and surgery. Naturopathic doctors
are highly qualified to recognize when referrals to
other heath care practitioners are required.
A Naturopathic Doctor
receives four years of training at an accredited
college. They receive 3800 classroom and 1500 clinical
hours. They are required to pass two sets of the
Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX)
in order to qualify for licensing in Ontario. NPLEX is
the standard examination used by all regulated provinces
and states across North America. NDs are also required
to earn continuing education credits on an ongoing basis
to maintain their registration and good standing with
the regulatory body. |
