Understand and plan my pathway
Understanding naturopathy
Naturopathy brings together traditional and alternative medicine approaches concerned with the person, their lifestyle and environment. This page introduces useful reference points for exploring NMTE courses.
A whole-person approach
The school’s programmes cover nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, bodywork and plant knowledge, depending on the course chosen. Consult each course page for the actual curriculum.
Studying practices critically
Teaching may bring together traditional knowledge, scientific knowledge and practical learning. Evaluating information, precautions and the limits of each practice are questions to examine during training.
Exploring the training context
WHO published benchmarks for naturopathy training in 2010. In Switzerland, OdA AM presents the professional profile and federal examination requirements. When planning your pathway, distinguish course content, certificates issued and requirements for your intended qualification.
