Naturopathic Medicine 101

Published 2018-11-21
Integrative care incorporates useful and proven complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities into holistic patient-centered clinical practices. Patient-centered care is usually provided by a team, and that team often includes a naturopathic doctor (ND).

So who are ND’s and how do they practice? What happens when ND’s are added to the scope of care? This webinar will review the principles of naturopathic medicine and its approach to patient care, the education and training received by naturopathic doctors, ND licensing and scope of practice, and the work taking place at Bastyr’s teaching clinic, the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, which serves more than 35,000 patients annually

  • I didn’t know that NDs could prescribe medications. I think that’s great, even if the focus should be on natural healing.
