About NCNM

NCNM is a nationally accredited, four year, graduate college which offers two professional health degrees: A Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (ND) and a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM).
NCNM is the oldest naturopathic college in North America, the roots from which other accredited naturopathic colleges have sprung. The MSOM program is one of the few that is based from a Classical Chinese medical approach. The school has access to more than a dozen community clinics facilitating diverse clinical experiences. NCNM also has an active research department which scientifically evaluates the efficacy of natural therapeutics.
Our urban campus in Portland, Oregon takes advantage of a highly liveable city infused with nature, beauty, culture and social conscience. NCNM also hosts the largest naturopathic residency program. NCNM is a school strongly rooted in community. We invite you to to come check us out!

IMPORTANT NOTICE AFFECTING ALL NCNM STUDENTS!!

As you may know, Congress has targeted to eliminate the School As Lender program – the only needs-based scholarship program available to students in graduate programs. At NCNM 100% of students choose to participate in this program and NCNM has been able to generate over half a million dollars in need based student aid for students in 2006-2007 alone.


NOW is the time to contact the Members of Congress who will be working on this very important issue. At this point in the legislative process, we are most concerned with the two committees who have jurisdiction over legislation to reauthorize the Higher Education Act: 1. the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; 2. the House Committee on Education.

The Senate has already passed a provision that will eliminate the program and the House is schedule to being its work on companion legislation very soon. Our strategy:

1) make sure that the House Committee on Education does not include a provision to eliminate the program, 2) communicate with Members of the Senate Committee the direct value this program has for students so that 3) with the two Committees come to the table to conference on their respective bills the program stays alive.

To accomplish this we must have as many students and alumni who have benefited from this program write to these two committees and ask them to keep this program alive. Our tool for enabling you to effectively communicate in rapid speed is known as CapWiz. This tool is being loaned to us for this effort from the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and their sister organization, the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges. Your correspondence to your Members of Congress will be received as an individual constituent, not as any part of a group or association.
