Unique Study Program

We think it should be accessible to study therefore we like you to experience the flexibility and affordability of our online Naturopathic Medicine program.

It offers a one-time fee for the entire online program. This distinctive feature sets our program apart from others in the field. With an average completion time of 4 years, our students can focus on their studies without the burden of mounting tuition costs.

As you successfully complete prerequisite courses, you’ll unlock access to new modules, ensuring a seamless and engaging learning journey.

Upon completing our program, you will have gained all the essential theoretical knowledge you need in the field of naturopathic medicine (for now, as it is an ever-expanding field requiring ongoing learning). With this foundation, you can confidently venture into the world and seek out a naturopathic university*, school*, or practice* where you can complete internships, clerkships, and master practical skills. Once you have successfully finished these practical components, the institution can notify us, and we can replace your online diploma with one to acknowledge your comprehensive training.

What happens when I don’t start an internship?

We understand that life can be unpredictable, and you may not be ready to begin your internship or may face challenges in securing a placement. Rest assured, there’s no need for concern! Upon completing the online program, you’ll receive a diploma that remains valid for a minimum of 5 years. This gives you ample time to find a suitable internship opportunity and embark on the practical aspect of your studies when the timing is right for you.

When does the program start?

Our program’s online orientation offers a significant advantage over traditional schools by providing more frequent starting points. There’s no need to wait to begin your journey! However, due to the interactive nature of some classes, which allow students to ask their teachers questions, there may be occasional delays in accessing new subjects after completing a course and receiving a grade.

To ensure a smooth learning experience, we grant access to the first round of courses for new students before the 15th of each month, as long as they have enrolled in the previous month. This approach helps balance the need for teacher-student engagement while maintaining the flexibility and convenience our program is known for.

Online Learning

Our school provides the theoretical foundation of naturopathic medicine through an online platform, making it accessible to individuals worldwide who may not have a naturopathic school nearby. This approach offers numerous advantages, but it also presents a significant challenge: students must find their own local mentor to do their clerkships and practical exams.

We are actively collaborating with other programs to develop solutions that benefit as many students as possible. While we can guide you on conducting physical exams or applying various physical medicine techniques, hands-on experience remains invaluable. This practical exposure also helps students determine their preferred area of expertise within naturopathic medicine, such as counseling or physical therapies.

We understand the eagerness to start your own practice; however, patient safety remains our top priority.

Regulations

Our Naturopathic Medicine program aims to deliver a thorough and rigorous education, but please be aware that the recognition and regulation of naturopathic medicine vary globally. Students are responsible for:

A: Securing their own practical coach in their area to fulfill the requirements for a complete program. Students should ensure that they verify the validity of their chosen practical institute with their national/regional regulations and laws.

B: Researching and understanding the local laws and regulations governing the practice of naturopathic medicine in their region. This includes, but is not limited to, any licensing or certification requirements. For students in the United States and Canada, please note that our program does not qualify you for the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examination (NPLEX).

By enrolling in our program, you acknowledge and agree to these terms and accept the responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to the practice of naturopathic medicine in your jurisdiction.

*When participating in practical training at other institutions, their respective fees will apply.
