Naturopaths

Naturopaths do not typically belong to unions. The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges works with the U.S. Department of Education, the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education, and the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners to ensure quality medical education at accredited programs. Naturopaths also have access to educational programs, networking opportunities, and other resources offered by associations such as the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and the World Naturopathic Federation. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health is a federal agency that conducts scientific research on medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. It offers a wealth of information about the field on its Web site.
