Naturopathic Medicine Institute
The Naturopathic Medicine Institute (NMI) envisions a world where optimal health allows people to reach their highest potential for inspired creativity. It recognizes that the highest ideal in medicine arises from the healing power of nature.
Achieving this requires physicians that perceive the full potential for curative treatment based on supporting the interconnected mechanisms that normally maintain and restore health. It also requires that patients are educated and empowered to take responsibility for making better choices to promote their health.
To accomplish this:
The Institute will help physicians achieve the highest ideal in medicine, ensuring that they are aware of the breadth and depth of the possibilities of cure. Those serving as mentors, will be physicians who exemplify the best of the art and science of naturopathic medicine.
Clinical Centers of Excellence supported by the Institute will demonstrate the effectiveness of naturopathic medicine in treating challenging chronic health problems in a setting where graduate physicians and apprentices will learn how to achieve their fullest potential as healers.
The Institute will educate health care providers and the public in the vitalistic perspective of the true origins of health problems, focusing on practical and effective ways in which people can be empowered to regain and maintain optimal health.
