The ND (Doctor of Naturopathy) and NHD (Doctor of Natural Health) are considered practitioner focused doctorate degrees, for those who desire to focus on practicing and consulting. ND and NMD are considered synonymous and recognized across the USA. The PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) is more academic, for those most interested in research, writing, and lecturing.
