Naturopathic Medical School E-Newsletter

Welcome to AANMC's Special Summer Event Issue!

In This Issue…

Editor's Note: One day just not enough?

It’s been a long winter, followed by some vigorous spring cleaning here at the AANMC headquarters. Aside from our newly redesigned Web site and our film in-the-making, AANMC has one more summer surprise for you: We’ve extended our Prospective Student Day to a two-day event! Join us this month in Phoenix, Ariz.

One day just not enough? Well, we heard you loud and clear…

For those of you who want an extra day to absorb everything you possibly can about the profession of naturopathic medicine, you can spend two days with us this year – attending the AANP (Association of Accredited Naturopathic Physicians) Conference! We’re now offering a FREE, early-bird pass to the natural products exhibit hall on day #1, preceding our normally scheduled events on day #2.

Not quite the overachiever type? If you can make it out on Saturday only, don’t worry. We’re still hosting our usual one-day Prospective Student Day event (on Saturday). So you’ll still enjoy intriguing speaker presentations, an informative Q&A panel (featuring current med school students this year – to give you the insider’s look at studying naturopathic medicine), plus a site tour of one of our very own AANMC schools nearby – Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM).

Ever find yourself envisioning what’s next in your life after med school? Read our inquiry about what today’s patients are searching for in their own optimal health care, and how naturopathic medicine factors in.

To your health and your future,
Coquina Deger
Managing Editor, AANMC

Your Questions Answered:
Once I become a doctor...

Q: Once I become a doctor of naturopathic medicine, will my patients have to choose between natural medicine and conventional medicine?
