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!

WINNERS!!!



2007 marks the second annual year that NCNM has won the Bike Commute Challenge (an event put on by the Bike Transportation Alliance in Portland, OR), for the category of 500+ "employees". Not only did we win, we biked city laps per capita over the other contestants.

Students, staff and faculty logged their daily bike mileage for one month. Here are some stats:
29.2% of the 500 employees/ students of NCNM participated
1380 bike commutes were made
14.5% is the percent days biked. This is the winning criteria based on number of bike commutes, number of employees and the presumed number of work days in September. The next closest runner up only had 6.0% days biked.

Most of the NCNM bikers were STUDENTS!!
30 is the larges number of bike trips by one person.
579 miles is the most biked miles by one person in the total month.

What a way to be healthy and be environmental!
