[edit] Overview of Degree Options
The NCNM has two professional graduate degree programs. The Doctor of Naturpathic Medicine and the Master of Science in Oriental Medicine. Both four year programs include extensive preparation and clinical practice in the art of holistic healing. The Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and the Master of Science in Oriental Medicine are accredited programs that meet the requirements of licenced practice in most US states.
The Naturopathic College's Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine is a four-year program that trains holistic primary care physicians. The program prepares graduates to sit for board examinations in states and provinces that license NDs (naturopathic physicians).
The program at the NCNM naturopathic school emphasizes a distinctive approach to health and healing — an approach that considers the whole person when treating specific conditions, one that seeks to diagnose and treat causes wherever possible. Naturopathic medicine is heir to the vitalistic tradition of medicine in the Western world. This is evidenced by its emphasis in treating disease through the stimulation, enhancement, and support of the inherent healing power of the body. Chosen methods of treatment respect this natural healing process.
