Great question. ND = Naturopathic Doctor (with a 4-year medical degree, board exams, and clinical residency). We’re trained in both conventional diagnostics and natural therapeutics. We collaborate with MDs, but we also spend more time looking at lifestyle, diet, environment, and prevention. 💡

Safety first!

Don’t believe us? Here are some more facts:⁠

🍽️ The most recent data from the Association of American Medical Colleges says that MDs/DOs get an average of 19.6 total hours of nutrition education throughout their 4 years of medical school, however this ranges from 0-70 hours depending on the program.⁠

🥗 Licensed naturopathic doctors get from 100-220 hours of nutrition education. This includes not only clinical nutrition knowledge, but also drug-nutrient interactions. ⁠

🌺 There is no standard for MDs/DOs to learn botanical medicine or how to identify drug-herb interactions. While some medical schools may provide some context via elective courses, this is not required. This is especially important with increasing numbers of patients resorting to natural health products in conjunction with their conventional medical treatment.⁠

🌿 But what about functional medicine doctors? Functional medicine is not considered a standalone area of medicine. These are practitioners who obtain an additional online certification, while NDs have this education built into their curriculum with in-residence clinical supervision.⁠

Progress!

Progress!

This week, the AANP formally called on the US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Education to recognize ND education as the nation’s most comprehensive model for physician-level nutrition training.

Why this matters:
-ND programs provide upwards of 220 hours of nutrition training vs. just a few hours in most MD programs.

-NDs are already trained to integrate nutrition with whole-person, preventive care.

We urged federal leaders to:
• Demonstrate whole-health integration in care

• Support pilots & evaluation of ND approaches

• Remove barriers limiting patient access to NDs

• Leverage existing partnerships with NIH and existing federal partnerships to accelerate nutrition-centered reforms

This is a pivotal step in positioning naturopathic doctors as leaders in whole-health and preventive care at the highest levels of federal leadership.

Stay tuned as we continue advocating for ND inclusion in shaping the future of medical education and patient care. Read the letter here: https://bit.ly/4mEGuav
