Why National?
National University of Health Sciences is the nation's premier
institution for health science education. Here you'll find
outstanding preparation in integrative health care professions such
as chiropractic and naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and oriental
medicine, and biomedical science.
Our Philosophy
At National University, a superior health care education starts
with:
- Evidence-Based Medicine
Diagnostic and healing modalities based in sound science and
clinical research
- Broad-Scope Curriculum
Evaluating the whole picture of a patient's health, and applying a
wide range of healing modalities
- Patient-Centered Care
Diagnosing and treating patients based on a thorough evaluation of
their individual health profile and history
- Integrative Medicine
Knowing better patient outcomes are possible when professionals
from different medical specialties work together
Our Academic Superiority
National University's academic program is rigorous,
uncompromising, and built on a solid foundation in the basic
sciences. We maintain high admission standards for our students;
for example, NUHS is the only chiropractic degree program to
require a bachelor's degree. Students in the naturopathic medicine
program are also required to have earned a baccalaureate degree. As
a result, the student body at National University is of a higher
academic caliber and our students score well above national
averages on required board and licensure tests. They often become
leaders in their professions, and credit National University as the
reason for their confidence and success.
Our Career Preparation
As the world of health care moves toward integrative medicine,
new opportunities are growing for complementary and alternative
health care providers in hospitals, the military, nursing homes,
and integrative care clinics. Our graduates are better positioned
for these career opportunities. They are immersed in hands-on
training in diagnosis and treatment methods, know how to co-manage
cases with diverse specialists, and serve as a valued member of an
integrative medical team.
Our History of Leadership
National University is respected worldwide as a leader in
integrative medicine. A driving force for moving natural health
care into mainstream medicine, we were the:
- first to offer hospital experience to chiropractic
students
- first to push for national accreditation of chiropractic
colleges
- first to publish medically-indexed and peer reviewed scientific
journals
Whenever you see natural health care gaining respect, advancing
to a higher standard, National University and its graduates are
there.
That's how we're defining the future of integrated health
care.
