This program encompasses over 4,500 hours of training in the basic medical sciences, naturopathic principles and therapeutics and includes 1500 hours of supervised clinical experience. The program leads to licensure as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.) after passing the North American Naturopathic Physician Licensing Examinations (NPLEX).

It is important to distinguish Naturopathic Doctors from those who have completed no more than a short-term course, especially in unlicensed provinces such as Quebec, where Naturopathic Medicine is not yet regulated.

Ongoing continuing education and immersion in various healing modalities after graduation is also necessary in order to remain on top of new advances and research in the field.

The four year program includes courses in:                                          

Medical Sciences • Anatomy • Physiology • Biochemistry • Pathology • Microbiology • Immunology • Histology • Laboratory Diagnosis • Differential Diagnosis • Physical and Clinical Diagnosis • Pharmacology • Radiology • Minor Surgery • Pediatrics • Orthopedics • Obstetrics and Gynocology

Naturopathic Therapies • Homeopathy • Clinical Nutrition • Botanical Medicine • Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture • Counseling and lifestyle counseling • Hydrotherapy • Massage Therapy • Naturopathic Manipulation

The above describes the full Naturopathic training but note that certain practices cannot be performed by a Naturopathic Doctor in Quebec as it is an unregulated province.
