If you’ve recently graduated and passed NPLEX or your CONO Entry to Practice exams…. now what?

Apply to provincial regulatory board where you are going to practice. For those planning to practice in an unregulated area the CAND recommends that you maintain a license from one of the provincial regulatory boards.

Malpractice Insurance Coverage

Licensure requires malpractice insurance coverage. The CAND obtains great rates through Paisley-Partners Inc. Insurance Brokers.

NDs must ensure they meet the insurance coverage requirements set by the regulatory authority in their jurisdictions. Coverage limits range from $2,00000 to $5,000,000 depending on scope of practice and jurisdiction. In unregulated jurisdictions it is recommended that NDs carry a minimum of $2,000,0000 and up to $5,000,000 if they are providing higher risk treatments such as IV therapy, chelation therapy etc. For more information on insurance offerings and applications please contact Roshan Philip at [email protected] or 1-877-427-8683.
