The Institute of Naturopathic Education and Research (INER) operates CCNM and the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic (RSNC). INER is registered as a charitable organization and CCNM receives no direct government funding.

CCNM’s Board of Governors consists of naturopathic doctors and laypersons from a variety of disciplines; elected by INER members. The Board’s mandate is to govern the organization [the Corporation (INER) operating as the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM)] through effective policy oversight and ensuring executive performance achieves the vision and goals of the organization.
