National College of Natural Medicine

The National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) was a graduate institution focused on integrative health education, combining conventional medicine with alternative and natural therapies. It aimed to train healthcare practitioners in areas such as naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, and herbal medicine, emphasizing a holistic approach that considers patients' physical, emotional, and environmental well-being. Located in Portland, Oregon, NCNM prioritized evidence-based practices within natural medicine disciplines. In 2017, it merged with the Arizona School of Naturopathic Medicine to form the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), which continues to provide education and training in integrative healthcare.
