Work-Life Balance
Job Satisfaction
Are you thinking about a medical career? Naturopathic medical education is shorter than other pathways, focuses on a holistic, patient-centered approach and offers better work-life balance and job satisfaction than other educational options. If you are exploring a career in the health professions, becoming a naturopathic doctor (ND) may be the best path for you. Becoming a Naturopathic Doctor teaches you clinical and research skills, offers flexibility, and allows you to help people on a daily basis.
If becoming an ND is appealing to you, the next step is deciding on the best naturopathic medical school for you and what it would take to apply. It is essential to choose from the accredited naturopathic schools that are members of the AANMC in order to be eligible for state/provincial recognized licensing examinations and to legally practice as a naturopathic doctor.
All AANMC schools adapted to provide safer learning during the COVID-19 pandemic by offering technology-enhanced education including simulation and apps, online lectures, and telemedicine as well as conventional in-person patient visits. Students are returning to campus as local and national guidelines allow.
