How can I tell if a naturopathic doctor is legitimately trained by a naturopathic medical school?
Look for an N.D. that has attended one of these six accredited four-year naturopathic medical schools: • National College of Naturopathic Medicine (Oregon) • Bastyr University (Washington) • Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (Arizona) • University of Bridgeport (Connecticut) • Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Ontario, Canada) • Boucher Institute (British Columbia, Canada) The states in which naturopathic medicine is protected by legal licensure are — Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Idaho, Kansas, California, and the District of Columbia.
