Q: What is your vision for the profession? 1. Provide treatment to people with chronic diseases that need Naturopathic medicine. 2. In a country where we have a physician shortage, Naturopathic physicians should help fill that gap. It’s high time that we make a serious contribution to healthcare, where you can recognize that thanks to Naturopathic care, this condition is better treated, across the board, not just by Naturopathic doctors, but improved because of Naturopathic medicine. I think the conditions that are particularly amenable to that are diabetes, cardiovascular disease, environmental medicine, women’s health and children’s health.” Source: SCNM |
