Council on Naturopathic Medical Education
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education is the programmatic accrediting agency for naturopathic medical education by the doctorate granting naturopathic institutions in the United States and Canada, by the American and Canadian national naturopathic professional associations, and by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners. The organization was founded and approved by Secretary of Education William Bennett in 1987 and is recognized as the accrediting agency for programs leading to the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree (N.D. or N.M.D.).[1] The CNME also approves postdoctoral residency programs in naturopathic family practice and primary care.[2]
