Qualifications
Naturopathic Doctors (Qualifications )
Naturopathic Doctors must complete at least 3 years of undergraduate study at a recognized University, with certain pre-requisites in subjects such as biology, chemistry, biochemistry and psychology, in order to be admitted to a Naturopathic College. They must then complete 4 years of study at an accredited Naturopathic College (in Toronto, Vancouver or the U.S.), which includes basic medical sciences, naturopathic therapies and extensive clinical experience. After graduation, a potential N.D. must write a series of board examinations (NPLEX), one set which are written by all North American candidates, as well as a specific series of examinations for the jurisdiction that they wish to practice in (i.e. Ontario). After passing these examinations, an N.D. is eligible to obtain a license to practice in their chosen jurisdiction. Licenses are issued and monitored by the Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy – Naturopathy (BDDT-N). Once in practice, each N.D. in Ontario must perform a certain number of Continuing Education credits in specific disciplines every two years.
