The mandate of Naturopathic Medicine Week™ is to educate the Canadian public about the health-benefits of naturopathic medicine, and the value of seeing a naturopathic doctor.
The CAND works closely with the regional representatives to coordinate local support for NDs. Please contact your provincial/territorial association or the CAND with any questions you might have. Naturopathic Medicine Week™ (NMW) is an annual initiative coordinated by the CAND and facilitated by naturopathic provincial/territorial organizations and schools. NMW provides NDs with a nationally coordinated opportunity to plan community awareness events and initiatives, such as: open clinics (with complimentary consultations where permitted), and presentations at local community hubs. Naturopathic Medicine Week™ can also be used as a topic of discussion for your blog, social media feeds, and articles or media interviews to which you’re contributing. What events are you planning for Naturopathic Medicine Week™ 2019? You can post your own Naturopathic Medicine Week™ event information anytime through the CAND website!
