Duties and Responsibilities: The primary duty of a naturopathic Doctor is to devise whole health care management systems for patients, even when they make an appointment for a specific issue. A first visit can take up to two hours and includes considerable time taking a complete medical history and discussing health issues. A conventional medical examination is performed, and diagnostic tests may be ordered, such as x-rays or mammograms. Treatment plans are devised that can include an array of alternative therapies and may make use of conventional medicine. Patients are also advised on disease prevention, nutrition and lifestyle choices.
Salary: $74,710
Education: You typically need a bachelor of science degree to apply to a naturopathic medical college, with strong coursework in the sciences, such as biology and chemistry. Classes in anatomy, botany, psychology and mathematics also look good to admissions committees. Aspiring naturopathic physicians spend four years in medical school, with the last two years focusing on clinical work. A residency after college isn't required, but many health care providers offer them. Some states require an examination and licensure to practice, while others have restrictions on the scope of practice.

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Or Why not?
I think i will not want to become a Naturopathic because it doesn’t catch my attention, I don’t see myself loving this job.
