University of Natural Medicine

There are approximately eleven states in the United States which have licensure for Naturopathic Physicians. The majority of the other states and most countries have no laws governing its practice. Specific questions about the legal status and/or licensure requirements for practice in a particular state or country should be directed to the appropriate government agencies or associations.

Program of Study - Phase I
Phase I of the Naturopathic program will be independent study, practical training, research, case studies and clinical training.

Program of Study - Phase II
Phase II of the Naturopathic program includes a specialized teaching clinic in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in conjunction with our existing worldwide network of affiliate clinics and training facilities.
