Welcome, Pre-Health Advisors and Counselors!
The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) encourages enrollment of qualified, outstanding candidates who wish to earn the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree and practice naturopathic medicine – a holistic approach to healing that utilizes treatments intended to promote the body’s innate healing capacity such as nutrition, herbal medicine and a range of other effective modalities.
Together, with your expertise as a pre-health advisor and our extensive resources, we can meet the challenge of gauging which prospective pre-med students are best suited for a career in naturopathic medicine, an equally challenging and rewarding career alternative to conventional allopathic medicine.
We invite you to learn and share what it takes to become an ND – a rewarding career path offered at seven accredited North American naturopathic medical schools.
Naturopathic medicine is an intriguing career path for those exceptional, health-focused students looking to you for guidance. Please join us in helping to transform the future of health care from a focus on disease to a focus on health by introducing promising young doctors to the field.
