Yes, I can! In Oregon, naturopathic doctors (NDs) are fully licensed to prescribe medications. NDs undergo rigorous pharmacology training and must pass a comprehensive pharmacology board exam to meet state licensing requirements. Under Oregon Senate Bill 856, naturopathic doctors are authorized to prescribe a wide range of medications, including therapeutic drugs. As NDs, we also provide guidance on natural therapies, including vitamins, supplements, topical treatments, and offer counseling to support your overall health and well-being.

Naturopathic medicine is a natural approach to healthcare that combines modern medical practices and traditional healing methods to treat illness and promote overall health and wellness. Naturopathic Doctors (ND) are trained in a rigorous 4-year medical school and may go on to completing medical residency. While the fundamental sciences, pathology, and diagnostics align with those in other medical schools, naturopathic medical education also encompasses preventive and alternative approaches, such as nutrition and herbal medicine. In Oregon, Naturopathic doctors have the authority to serve as primary care physicians. They can perform minor surgical procedures, order laboratory tests and imaging, conduct physical examinations, and prescribe certain prescription medications. With additional certification, they are even qualified to provide care during childbirth. Naturopathic doctors are dedicated to providing comprehensive, patient-centered healthcare that emphasizes natural healing methods and overall well-being.
