A licensed Naturopathic Doctor is a primary care physician trained to diagnose and treat medical conditions and prescribe medications depending on the state they are licensed in.

They undergo rigorous medical training for 4 years at one of the seven accredited schools for Naturopathic Medicine where they not only learn the latest advances in biomedical sciences, but also the latest advances in natural therapies to prevent and manage illness. They are required to pass national board exams for licensure. 

A naturopath is not licensed to diagnose, treat, or prescribe. A naturopath doesn’t have the same education and it is often completed in a purely online format. There is no qualifying board exam and many states do not regulate who can use the term “naturopath”.

So be aware that while the terms are similar, they are not the same.
