Egeland
"My goal was to be a physician and when I found naturopathic
medicine, it just clicked for me as being where I needed to be.
Most of the faculty here at NUHS... are doctors, and many of them
also have their own practices and see patients. So, you're getting
a world of experience."

"When I was shopping for schools, I was really impressed with
National University's integrative curriculum. Being able to take
classes with doctors in other fields is really a plus, and the
naturopathic curriculum is phenomenal!"

"Naturopathy isn't for everyone. You have to have an open mind
and work extremely hard. It's not just a fly-by-night degree; it's
a medical degree. The science courses can be extremely challenging.
My goal is to get a residency in a cancer center in a hospital and
to eventually practice in a hospital and focus on oncology."

"Chucky" Ndumbi
Chucky advises those considering an ND degree to evaluate
their reasons for wanting to become a naturopathic
physician. "Some people think this is an easier
way to become a doctor than earning an MD. That is an illusion.
It's not easy. You need an innate call to this medicine from deep
within."

"At National University, we're not just learning how to treat a
disease or a symptom, we are looking for ways to restore health and
to help the body heal itself. Lifestyle changes, nutritional
counseling, getting to the root and cause of the problem, and
treating it with natural methods is what naturopathy is all
about."
