This has nothing to do with being angry. It has everything to do with clients who have laid out a lot of energy, time and money to get basic, everyday health advice, or a bagful of professional line supplements to treat symptoms with. It has to do with students who have been able to get into natural medicine programs without out the stringent requirements of allopathic medical schools, who then go on to call themselves primary care physicians. It also has to do with students truly being misinformed about the nature of the curriculum and facilities, despite the cost.

Bastyr says they require all those science courses being discussed here, but the reality is, you don\'t need them to get into the naturopathic program. You need them to get out of the program, but that means you take them during a graduate curriculum.

Bastyr makes exceptions for potential students without degrees, takes distance learners as transfers, and basically has much lower standards than the typical allopathic medical schools.

On another forum, some people called admissions and asked about requirements and they were told not to worry about it. Now, what I just wrote is heresay, but can anyone imagine Harvard Medical School admissions counselors saying that?
