What is Naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct form of health care with an emphasis on prevention, treatment and optimal health guided by the use of therapeutic modalities which support the body's innate ability towards self-healing. In conjunction with the Foundations of Naturopathic Medicine, a therapeutic order is incorporated to utilize the least invasive treatments first, while understanding that there is a time and a place for more invasive treatments as well.

Becoming a Naturopathic Doctor (ND)
Education
A licensed naturopathic physician (ND) attends a four-year, accredited, graduate-level naturopathic medical school. In addition to the standard biomedical science curriculum received by an MD, naturopathic studies include clinical nutrition, physical medicine, homeopathic medicine, botanical medicine, psychology, and counseling.
Clinical Training
Students also gain hands-on clinical experience that prepares them to serve as primary care general practice physicians. Individuals exploring how to become a licensed naturopathic doctor often begin by researching accredited programs—sometimes informally referred to as naturopathic doctor schools—that meet national standards for licensure.
Licensure
A naturopathic physician takes rigorous professional board exams administered by the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examination (NPLEX) so that they may be licensed by a state or jurisdiction as a primary care general practice physician.
Ohio is currently an "unlicensed" state in the US, meaning that currently anyone can say they are a Naturopathic physician. The Ohio government is currently reviewing a law that would regulate the practice in this state to ensure anyone claiming to be a Naturopathic physician met all of the above requirements and had passed the National Boards.
