assistant
A person becomes a naturopath by completing an accredited naturopathy program. Naturopaths typically have a bachelor's degree in health sciences, such as biology or chemistry, and then go on to complete a four-year doctorate of naturopathic medicine (ND) at an accredited institution. The ND program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to practice naturopathic medicine safely and effectively.
