As of 2008, regulation of Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario switched from the Drugless Medicine under the same provincial legislative body as Medical Doctors, Dentists, Pharmacists, and other conventional health care providers.
This will also enhance the profile of Naturopathic Medicine from a governmental and insurance perspective and put additional emphasis on consumer demands and consumer safety.
Overall, this legislative change is anticipated to further drive the demand for Naturopathic care. |
