A number of U.S. states and Canadian provinces currently license\/regulate naturopathic doctors, and licensure initiatives are underway in others. Only graduates of CNME-accredited and candidate naturopathic doctoral (ND) programs<\/a>\u2014who complete a comprehensive, four-year ND program\u2014are qualified for professional licensure. In states and provinces where NDs are not yet regulated, patients should seek out a naturopathic physician who is a graduate of a CNME-accredited program.<\/p>\n The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians\/AANP<\/a> and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors\/CAND<\/a> have online directories that provide contact information to help individuals find qualified naturopathic doctors in their area, as well as general information on naturopathic medicine. Many U.S. state and Canadian provincial naturopathic professional associations also have online directories; these directories can be accessed through the AANP and CAND links above. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) provide individual and family primary healthcare, and treat a wide range of chronic and acute ailments.<\/p>\n Chronic conditions treated by NDs include:<\/p>\n Acute conditions treated by NDs include:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#7d93b2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/cnme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pages-resources-for-patients.jpg” alt=”NDs prescribe a variety of botanical medicines to treat a wide range of chronic and acute illnesses.” title_text=”NDs prescribe a variety of botanical medicines to treat a wide range of chronic and acute illnesses.” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” align_phone=”center”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”12″ text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]Photo courtesy of Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine<\/em> U.S. States and Jurisdictions Where NDs Are Licensed<\/strong><\/p>\n Canadian Provinces that Regulate Naturopathic Doctors<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#7d93b2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/cnme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/pages-resources-for-patients-2.jpg” alt=”Naturopathic physicians provide safe and effective healthcare for people of all ages.” title_text=”Naturopathic physicians provide safe and effective healthcare for people of all ages.” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” align_phone=”center”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”12″ text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]Photo courtesy of National University of Natural Medicine<\/em> Finding a Qualified Naturopathic Doctor Near Me A number of U.S. states and Canadian provinces currently license\/regulate naturopathic doctors, and licensure initiatives are underway in others.
