What is the difference between ccsm and the other organizations that accredit naturopathic programs?
ccsm is the organization that accredits programs which prepare students to become licensed naturopathic physicians. It is the accrediting agency accepted by the Canadian professional associations for licensed naturopathic doctors, and it is the agency recognized by the Naturopathic Medicine Council of Canada (NMCC). ccsm is also the only naturopathic accreditor with membership in the Alternative Medicine Examiners Council of Canada (AMECC). Other naturopathic accrediting agencies accredit schools that do not prepare students to practice as licensed naturopathic physicians. None is recognized by the AMECC, and none of the schools or programs they accredit has institutional accreditation from a recognized regional accrediting agency. Comparing the published standards, policies, procedures, and bylaws of accrediting agencies is one way to determine their differences. For ccsm, these documents are in its Handbook.
