Where may N.D.,s practice?
Four provinces allow the practice of naturopathic medicine: British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Oregon, Saskatchewan, have licensing laws for naturopathic doctors. The scope of practice varies from province to province. In provinces without naturopathic licensing laws, many who hold the N.D. degree also hold other degrees, such as the Doctor of Osteopathy, Doctor of Chiropractic, or Masters in Oriental Medicine degree, and they practice under licenses for those professions. Others offer services that do not violate their provinces medical practice acts. Most naturopathic physicians are not in the provinces that regulate the profession.
