Liscensed Naturopathic Physicians Directory - United StatesN.D. or N.M.D. degree - What's the difference?By The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education Universities and colleges may choose to call the naturopathic degree they confer either the “Doctor of Naturopathy” or the “Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine” degree. These are two different names for the same degree. By either name, the degree is usually abbreviated “N.D.,” but an institution that refers to its naturopathic credential as the “Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine” degree may abbreviate it either “N.D.” or “N.M.D.” Presently, all colleges and universities with accredited or candidate naturopathic medicine programs confer the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree or, in Canada, the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine diploma. In all states and provinces that regulate naturopathic medicine, except Arizona, naturopathic physicians use the N.D. initials after their names. In Arizona, they may use either the N.D. or N.M.D. initials; the different sets of initials do not indicate a difference in scope of practice, but only a preference by the individual physicians. The N.D. initials are the ones more widely associated with the naturopathic medical profession and are the only ones used in the corporate seals of both the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors. Accreditation of Naturopathic SchoolsThe Council on Naturopathic Medical Education serves the public by accrediting both naturopathic medical education programs, and post-doctoral naturopathic medicine programs. CNME is recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Education.
