Accreditation

ACCREDITATION

Along with all Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) in North America, the naturopathic medicine program at CCNM is accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME), a programmatic accrediting agency for naturopathic medical education. Their office is located at P.O. Box 178, Great Barrington, MA 01230 and they may be contacted by phone at (413) 528-8877. CCNM received a seven-year reaccreditation period, the longest term available. The determination of the CNME Board to grant this period of reaccreditation is based upon a rigorous review and assessment of CCNM’s programs and operations.

The CNME accreditation enables CCNM students to write the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Examinations (NPLEX), offered by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NABNE). Passage of NPLEX is required for licensure in most regulated jurisdictions, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia and those states in the U.S. that regulate the practice of naturopathic medicine.
