Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC)

Hi Tonya,
The next best step for you is to take a look at our 7 schools and determine which you are interested in. You can learn more about them all at http://www.aanmc.org/the-schools.php. Then, once you have a better idea of where you'd like to go, contact admissions reps at those institutions. They'll be able to guide you through the processes of preparing and applying. As to your classes, it is entirely likely that some of them will apply. As each school has a slightly different curriculum, it will depend on the school, but definitely bring it up with any admissions rep you talk to. They will be able to give you a better idea of how they might transfer at that particular school. Finally, I recommend attending our online Webinar next week, which will be a good chance to ask questions of NDs, current students, and admissions reps. You can find out more and register at http://www.aanmc.org/register/forum2.php?forum=72.

What a wonderful event!

Hi Lakisha,
I definitely understand your concern, of course you want to know that after 4 years of additional school, you'll be able to support yourself. But the answer is that after graduating, the chances of you finding a job are very good. Many NDs choose to start their own businesses, or go into business with one of their classmates. Others do find work with hospitals or clinics. Still others go into research or education. To get just a sampling of the opportunities available right now (ie. in this economy), check out Bastyr's Professional Opportunities page at http://www.bastyr.edu/alumni/opportunities.asp?otid=2, and SCNM's Job Preview page at http://www.scnm.edu/job-preview.html. Our other schools also have similar pages, if you want to explore.
You can learn more about all of our schools at http://www.aanmc.org/the-schools.php. Also, let me recommend attending our next Webinar, which will be Nov. 12. It'll be a good chance to ask questions of NDs, students, and admissions reps. Learn more and register at http://www.aanmc.org/register/forum2.php?forum=72.
I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to contact me via email if you have more questions at info@aanmc.org.

Hi Jenessa,
The AANP is usually a good place to start, http://www.naturopathic.org/. Look under their "Advocacy" section to find information specific to your state, and for opportunities to get involved. Also, since you're in IL, check out the Illinois Association of Naturopathic Physicians at http://www.ilanp.org/. They'll be your best resource for local developments.

We'll be debuting our first ND-roundtable discussion. The topic: Treating Patients With Fatigue. Followed by a naturopathic med student Q&A panel.

Hi Marga,
I wish I could be of more help on this, but the answer will really be up to the authorities in Spain. I know that there are people who practice naturopathic medicine in Europe, but I also know that it varies from country to country. I would recommend talking to someone who knows about how the medical community is regulated in your country, they would have more information than I. Good luck.
