LISCENSING
Currently, 13 states, the District of Columbia, and the US territories of
Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands have licensing laws for naturopathic doctors. In these states, naturopathic doctors are
required to graduate from a four-year, residential naturopathic medical school and pass an extensive postdoctoral board
examination (NPLEX) in order to receive a license.

education requirements annually, and will have a specific scope of practice defined by their state’s law. The states that
