Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine
National University of Health Sciences, the nation's premier
institution for complementary and alternative medical education,
offers a doctor of naturopathic medicine program (ND), which will
prepare you to practice as a licensed naturopathic physician.
National University's ND program provides you with a rigorous
curriculum that blends thorough scientific foundation with
comprehensive training in traditional naturopathic treatments.
Integrative Teaching
As a student in the naturopathic physician program at National
University, you will study the same basic sciences as an MD, but
you will learn holistic and natural approaches to therapy with a
strong emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness.
You'll study alongside students from other professional degree
programs and thereby have the opportunity to share perspectives and
experiences.
Unparalleled Career Preparation
You will spend a full year in the clinical internship component of
your program. NUHS offers naturopathic clinical internship
opportunities that allow students to complete a full-fledged
naturopathic internship on our main campus. Our ND internship
program is conducted in a framework appropriate to a university
setting in our state, and provides experience in high quality
naturopathic care. Not only that, you'll spend your internship in
our on-campus integrative medical clinic, learning how to
collaborate with professionals from other medical specialties.
Academic Superiority
For entry to practice in the naturopathic profession, you will
take rigorous professional board exams. Demonstrating proficiency
through these exams is a necessary step to being licensed in any
jurisdiction that regulates the practice of naturopathic
medicine.
