**Note:
Classes in Pharmacotherapeutics and Ambulatory Surgery are taught in this program.
While John Thomas College does not presently
have accreditation status with the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education and
therefore is not able to guarantee the right to sit for the NPLEX examination and
subsequent licensure, these courses are taught to ensure John Thomas College students
adequate preparation to take full advantage of the practice rights available to
doctors of naturopathic medicine throughout the United States.
At present, no law to practice exists in Missouri and this factor will limit the ability
of those not licensed to practice these skills. John Thomas College enjoins students to
research and adhere to the laws regarding the practice of naturopathic
medicine in their respective states and jurisdictions and accepts no responsibility
for the unlawful practice of the skills taught in these courses.
These courses and the information provided in them are part of the common
practice of naturopathic medicine as provided by law in many states including –
but not limited to – Idaho, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and California.
While individual states’ practice
laws differ, these disciplines are included in whole are in part in the laws of
the states mentioned above.
Passage of the NPLEX is necessary for licensure in most jurisdictions.
