Understand and plan my pathway
The naturopathy profession
In Switzerland, OdA AM describes the professional profile of naturopaths with a federal diploma. It sets out an approach to alternative medicine within the practitioner’s discipline.
Support, communication and follow-up
The official profile brings together health assessment, discipline-specific interventions and follow-up. It also covers the therapeutic relationship, prevention, professional collaboration and ethical principles.
Working within a professional framework
OdA AM describes work mainly in an individual or shared practice, as well as opportunities within institutions. Practitioners need to understand their competencies, organise their work and monitor quality. Check the applicable practice requirements with the competent authorities.
Training for the intended qualification
A course, a school certificate and the federal diploma represent distinct stages. Discuss your goals with the school office to identify an appropriate programme. Admission to the federal examination depends on the requirements published by OdA AM.
