Naturopathic Doctors are medical professionals who are trained in both modern medicine and alternative medicine. Each Doctor has completed an Undergraduate degree or Pre-Med level education, followed by a 4 year training program at a CNME accredited institution. The training involves standard medical training as well as specific training in alternative therapies such as nutrition, botanical medicine, spinal manipulation, oriental medicine, and homeopathy.
