Council on Naturopathic Medical Education

The Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) is a specialized accrediting body that accredits naturopathic medical education programs in the United States and Canada. CNME is recognized by the US Department of Education and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation as a specialized accreditor of naturopathic medical education. CNME plays an important role in the higher education landscape by ensuring that naturopathic medical education programs meet established standards of educational quality and effectiveness. By doing so, CNME helps to ensure that graduates of these programs are well-prepared to enter the workforce and contribute to the healthcare system. CNME's accreditation process involves a thorough review of each program's curriculum, faculty, facilities and other factors. Accreditation is granted to programs that meet or exceed CNME's established standards and programs must undergo periodic review to maintain their accreditation status.
