Is a homeopath the same as a Naturopathic Doctor?

No. Most homeopathic education programs require just high school education and perhaps some college. Naturopathic doctors have fully completed post-secondary education degrees and are general practitioners of Natural Medicine who may use homeopathy as an element in their vast repository of treatment protocols. Additionally, NDs have many more treatment modalities available to them at their disposal. NDs draw from a wide repertoire of skills including providing a comprehensive clinical diagnosis using instruments and physical examination thereby creating a detailed patient history along with their expertise in trying to uncover any potential hidden conditions in order to try and help develop a treatment strategy for the patient.
