VOLUNTARY NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR LICENSURE -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding voluntary naturopathic doctor licensure requirements.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This legislation makes minor corrections to the voluntary naturopathic doctor dual licensure statute. It clarifies the post-doctorate training required to obtain voluntary licensure and prevents policy overlap with other naturopathic licensure statutes. The legislation requires that an individual must enroll in and complete a naturopathic doctor curriculum of at least 160 hours from an accredited university as well as show proof that an applicant has practiced naturopathic medicine in Idaho for a number of years. This legislation does not change the underlying doctorate licensure requirement or the requirement that the underlying license must remain active and in good standing.
