I'm approaching the end of my second year of naturopathic medical school and feel the need to share the valuable and beneficial information I have learned so far. I will graduate in June 2013 (yes, the program takes five years). Naturopathic medicine takes into account all aspects of a person's health, and we utilize Western diagnostic tools, herbal medicine, homeopathy, mental health counseling, physical medicine, nutrition and lifestyle counseling, and a host of other modalities to ensure we understand our patients and see the complete picture when it comes to their health and well-being.
