The Naturopathic Doctor
Duties and Responsibilities: Naturopathic physicians combine the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. Steeped in traditional healing methods, principles and practices, naturopathic medicine focuses on holistic, proactive prevention and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. By using protocols that minimize the risk of harm, naturopathic physicians help facilitate the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health. It is the naturopathic physician’s role to identify and remove barriers to good health by helping to create a healing internal and external environment.
Salary: It all depends on the state that you are in that is what chooses your pay.
Education:
A minimum of 7 years post-secondary education is required. Most NDs first complete a four year Bachelor's degree in the arts or sciences, and then the required four-years at an accredited naturopathic medical college. Students must then pass comprehensive licensing exams in order to be registered to practice.
Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I don't think that i would like to be one because of how low they pay and because of how much you have to go to school for after high school it is still a requirement that i don't like and that is why i choose not to become that.
