Naturopathic doctors are required to graduate from accredited four-year residential naturopathic medical programs and pass an extensive postdoctoral board examination (NPLEX) in order to receive a license or registration. Licensed and registered NDs have a specific scope of practice as defined by their state’s law, and must fulfill State-mandated continuing education and reporting requirements. Residency programs after medical school is an option available for further training as well. Read more on the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians website.
