Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) |
The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education specializes in approving postdoctoral programs. Naturopathic Medicine is most likely one the oldest forms of medicine, but it wasn't until fairly recently that the field has been a widely accepted form of modern medicine. As a result the CNME wasn't founded until 1978. Since, however, the CNME has become recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as the leading accrediting agency of naturopathic medicine training programs. There are still many quandaries surrounding the field of naturopathic medicine but, by forming and maintaining high quality education standards, the CNME aims to continue to move the field into mainstream practices. It oversees the education in postdoctoral programs in naturopathic medicine in the United States and Canada. These programs lead to the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.D. or N.M.D.) or Doctor of Naturopathy (N.D.) degrees. Currently there are 7 schools that are accredited or certified by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education. |
