They all have their problems. Even taditional allopathic medical schools have their problems. I am a licensed ND (Canada) and NMD (USA) and believe me on this: I got into the profession in themid 80\'s when tuition fees were very low.........$3000.00 Canadian per year !!!! I honestly think that when you pay close to $20,000.00 USD per year, You deserve to be recognised as a real doctor with all the priveledges of medicare coverage, status etc, etc. It aint happenin fast enough for NDs. I would rather you go online and take a naturopathic course through correspondence for $1000.00 or go to regular med school then take CAM training after that through an online scource. I have made the decision to go through the gauntlet to obtain a regular MD for these very reasons even though I have already been very sucessful as an ND for the past 16 years. Plus....I like to collect trophies.
