Being a ND in NH

NHAND wants to support its members (and prospective members) by being a central location to the information needed to become a licensed naturopathic doctor in New Hampshire. ALL FORMS REGARDING LICENSING IN NH CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE OF THE  NH STATE OF NATUROPATHIC EXAMINERS here.

NHAND does not license the naturopathic doctors in the state of NH. This is done by the Board of Naturopathic Examiners as part of the NH government department of health and human services. The licensing board reviews and processes NH ND license applications. Please refer all licensing questions to the NH State Board of Examiners.
