The demand for alternative methods of health care is on the rise due to the increase in the prevalence of chronic disease, coupled with an increased desire on the part of health-conscious Americans for alternatives to traditional Western medicine.
So, the career outlook in naturopathic medicine has never been brighter—which means there has never been a better time to invest in earning a naturopathic medicine degree from a top naturopathic medicine school!
The field of naturopathic medicine continues to grow with more than 5,000 practicing physicians in North America, a number that has tripled in the last 10 years.
Over 1,200 doctors of naturopathic medicine surveyed by the American Association of Naturopathic Medicine Colleges (AANMC) shows that an established doctor of naturopathic medicine working full-time earns an average income of about $90,000.
For more than 110 years, NUHS has been the leader in integrative teaching, training and treatment. What makes us different?
Naturopathic medicine students learn in the classroom with students from other health programs, as well as treat patients collaboratively within an integrative clinic. National University's focus on collaborative learning encourages students to become colleagues rather than competitors.
This better prepares them for future careers in today's integrated health care.
At National University, the rigorous basic science coursework provides a foundation for applying the biomedical sciences to understanding the evolution of patient conditions and engineering a plan that will help them return to health.
Clinical theory courses presented early in the curriculum, and continued throughout the program, aid students in applying the basic science knowledge they need for a successful career in naturopathic medicine!
At NUHS, you will have the option to earn a second degree (DC, MSOM or MSAc) through dual enrollment.
Earning two degrees simultaneously can save you months, years and several thousand dollars, while also expanding your career options as a doctor of naturopathic medicine and increasing your earning potential.
