Are naturopathic medical programs accredited?
Yes. The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) is the only accrediting body for naturopathic medical schools recognized by the US Department of Education. The CNME has accredited the naturopathic medical programs in the US as well as the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Upon successful completion of any of these programs, a naturopathic physician is eligible to take the naturopathic physician licensing examinations (NPLEx) to obtain licensure.
