Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 - Soseneda <TheWitch Sose You have an incredibly blessed backgroung regarding holistic health, and Im sure you have received a good education from Clayton in herbs and natural healing- but I must comment in the Naturopathic Doctor bit...there are only four schools in North America who currently graduate " ND " s Accredited Schools The accrediting agency for naturopathic medical schools and programs in North America is the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). The CNME issues a bulletin twice a year giving the accrediting status of each of the institutions it is engaged with. At this time, there are four accredited institutions: Bastyr University 14500 Juanita Drive, NE Kenmore, WA 98011 (425) 823-1300 Bastyr Natural Health Clinic: (206) 632-0354 National College of Naturopathic Medicine 049 SW Porter Portland, OR 97201 (503) 499-4343 Clinic: (503) 255-7355 Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences 2140 East Broadway Tempe, AZ 85282 (480) 858-9100 Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine 1255 Sheppard Avenue, E North York, ON M2K 1E2 (416) 498-1255 The University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine was granted candidacy status by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education on March 31, 2001 at their meeting in Tempe, Arizona. University of Bridgeport College of Natural Medicine 60 Lafayette Street Bridgeport, CT 06601 (203) 576-4109 Candidacy is not accreditation, nor does it assure eventual accreditation. It is a status of affiliation with the Council that indicates a college or program satisfies the eligibility requirements, complies with the standards to the degree expected for its stage of development, and has demonstrated the potential for achieving accreditation within five years of having obtained candidacy. Candidates are reviewed at least every two years. For further information on accreditation, please contact the CNME, P. O. Box 11426, Eugene, OR 97440-3626; 541-484-6028. http://www.cnme.org The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians 8201 Greensboro Drive, Suite 300 McLean, VA 22102 (703) 610-9037 · (703) 610-9005 fax I just Needed to post this- as this is a big concern for those who have graduated from these schools...and those seeking Naturopaths- There are many qualified practitioners of holistic health and herbalism- and if your state licenses you under these titles, then great- but the ND licensing is not constant in all states... States in which you can get licensed as an ND: If you're an ND who has graduated from one of the eligible ND schools you can get licensed in these states: Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Utah. after passing the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Exam (NPLEx). There are additional recognized ND licenses in Florida. No new licenses are being granted there, however. British Columbia and Ontaria currently license NDs who pass licensing exams and who have graduated from any of the legitimate naturopathic medical schools with an ND. This doesnt mean you arent a qualified practitioner, just not an ND... I think your policy on suggesting herbs online is a good one...I get carried away sometimes...and am used to private/ other herbal forums where people share these things openly with other folks who are usually practitioners ... thanks for listening Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 I am going through the Herbal Healer Academy. After I complete my exams with them, then I must apply for board certification through the ANMCAB. From there I have to pass their exam to get my certification and be recognized legally. But my training is completed when I complete my final exam from HHA. I am just not legal until I am certified by the ANMCAB. Blessings, Soseneda Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum videtur.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 Then you will be an herbalist, right? HHA is not one of the accredited schools to graduate Naturopathic Doctors. Holistic practitioners, sure, but Naturopaths receive a full 4-5 years of hands on graduate school...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 The way I understand it, I will be an Nd when I get certified through the ANMCAB. Since you brought all of this up, I have been looking into it more closely. I did know about the four schools, etc. But from what I had read, if you couldn't attend the schools for some reason there was an alternate track. I do know, that legally speaking, I will have the same rights and privileges as an MD. Have to find out more here. Blessings, Soseneda Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum videtur.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2001 Report Share Posted November 11, 2001 The education is really different- Im sure you have learned A LOT and I dont mean to insult you- but this is a big issue with the accrediting board of the aforementioned schools, and the NDs who have graduated from them check into it Michelle - Soseneda <TheWitch Sunday, November 11, 2001 10:20 AM RE: ND > The way I understand it, I will be an Nd when I get certified through > the ANMCAB.
