Council on Naturopathic Medical Education

The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) is the official accrediting agency responsible for evaluating and certifying naturopathic medical schools in the United States and Canada. Its role is to ensure these programs meet rigorous standards of quality and curriculum, preparing students to become competent healthcare practitioners. Accreditation by the CNME helps maintain high educational and professional standards, guiding schools to provide comprehensive training in natural and holistic medicine. This, in turn, supports the credibility and recognition of naturopathic doctors within the healthcare system.
