What is a doctor called?

Question

I know that there is a relatively new classification for doctors that are both medical and natural. They combine both feilds. Just wondering what they're called.

Answer 1

Naturopathic physicians.

Naturopathic physicians in the United States are independent providers with training in conventional medical sciences, diagnosis and treatment, and natural therapeutics. Licensing and training requirements vary from state to state but at least 13 states and the District of Columbia have formal licensing and educational requirements. All must graduate from a four-year nationally accredited naturopathic medical school to practice. Naturopathic physicians training with respect to modalities is different, with a focus on nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, joint manipulation, manipulative therapy, pharmacology, and minor surgery. Some naturopathic physicians have additional training in the following: natural childbirth, acupuncture, and Chinese medicine. These subspecialties often involve additional years of study. Naturopathic physicians are required to attend continuing education yearly in order to maintain and renew their licenses.

Naturopathic physicians are licensed to diagnose and treat disease in Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, as well as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Naturopathic Physicians are working in cooperation with both conventional and alternative practitioners to provide patients with complete medical care. Naturopathic physicians can bridge disparate fields with their training in both conventional and non-conventional treatment. Naturopathic physicians are able to identify and prescribe appropriate treatment including referral to conventional medical doctors.

For licensure as a naturopathic physician in one of those licensing U.S. states or Canadian provinces, candidates must have a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (abbreviated as N.D. or less commonly N.M.D.) / Doctor of Naturopathy degree from an accredited institution in the U.S. or Canada and pass licensing board examinations. The abbreviation N.D. can also denote the professional title and status Naturopathic Doctor that is conferred by the licensing body in the state or province.

In contrast, the "degree" Doctor of Natural Medicine (abbreviated D.N.M.) does not qualify for licensure as a naturopathic physician and carries no regulatory status in the U.S. or Canada.

I list this information with some trepidation. The fact that 37 states DO NOT license naturopathic physicians gives some concern. Much of naturopathy is controversial. I recommend the first link below for more info. Still, I remain open minded - just show me the science!

I hope this helps.
