Postdoctoral Training: Naturopathic Medicine Residency Program

Two ND residents watch as an ND takes a man's blood pressure.

Bastyr University's School of Naturopathic Medicine is a recognized sponsor of postdoctoral naturopathic medical education by the Council of Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). The University has a well-established residency program at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health. In addition, the University has several affiliate residency training programs.

All these programs are highly competitive and attract graduates from other institutions as well as from Bastyr University. Each residency is a closely supervised program wherein a resident progresses from a purely observational role into an independent role over the course of one year. This progression is monitored and facilitated by a faculty mentor and program administrator.

Applications

The university is accepting applications for the 2012-2013 program year. The deadline is 5 p.m. on January 13, 2012.
