Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME)

The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) is the accrediting body that reviews and recognizes naturopathic medical schools to ensure they meet specific educational standards. Its role is similar to that of accreditation organizations for other health professions, ensuring programs provide quality education, covering essential topics, and preparing students to become competent practitioners. Accreditation by the CNME helps validate the credibility of naturopathic schools, guiding students, employers, and licensing boards in identifying legitimate and reputable programs in the field of naturopathic medicine.
