Haiti, and Kenya to visit and treat patients at local clinics.
A handful of students also go to India with our faculty to attend a homeopathy conference every year. Like the other groups, these students will also have the opportunity to see and treat patients at local clinics.
Our campus is located in Toronto, the biggest city hub in Canada.
CCNM has the biggest ND program of all the schools in North America
A bigger class means you have a bigger community waiting to befriend you. Most people think that a bigger class means that school becomes impersonal, but that is completely untrue when it comes to CCNM. (See the video blow to hear from some of our students!) Your school community will become your support network like no other. The student family is always there for both work and for fun.
Even after graduating, our grads keep in touch and support each other through mediums such as their graduating class year Facebook groups and LinkedIn.
The CCNM community is a family, so you don't feel lost in the fray
Our students continually tell us how close the CCNM family is.
You'll have a lot of fun getting to know your classmates, the student association and the upperclassmen at Unity Summit, the orientation retreat for First Years in beautiful Muskoka.
We have an incredibly supportive community, and everyone is here to help you through your studies. Besides your class year, there are many student groups, formal and informal, involved in the school. You're sure to find like-minded people who share the same passions and interests as you at CCNM. And in between study sessions, our students, faculty and staff also know how to have a lot of fun!
Our faculty and staff are not only here for a job, they are here for the students. Student-staff events, like the CCNM Amazing Race and Naturopathic Cafe (talent night), are well attended. One department even held a raffle to bring a student with them to share a once-in-a-lifetime experience doing the CN Tower Edgewalk! (Naturally, the proceeds from the raffle went to support the student union.)
