Residency opportunities for Naturopathic Physicians 

Accredited, community-based, with support beyond placement.

Our Vision

A healthcare system where naturopathic physicians are optimally educated and prepared for clinical practice; patients are able to become healthier by working with highly skilled clinicians; naturopathic physicians are able to contribute the full scope of their training to all communities, age groups, and socioeconomic classes; naturopathic physicians have many more job opportunities.

Let's get you placed.

Residency opportunities for Naturopathic Physicians are limited with only a fraction of the graduating N.D.s being placed. The priority of the Naturopathic Education and Residency Consortium (NERC) is providing additional naturopathic residencies that will help to deliver highly competent Naturopathic Physicians who can practice in a diverse array of situations, and be successful.“

What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Founded upon a holistic philosophy, naturopathic medicine combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all people of all ages.

Naturopathic physicians (N.D.s) are the highest trained practitioners in the broadest scope of naturopathic medical modalities. In addition to the basic medical sciences and conventional diagnostics, naturopathic education includes therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, natural childbirth, classical Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulative therapy, pharmacology and minor surgery.
