The Naturopathic Medicine Collaborative (NMC) is a cooperative group of 80+ stakeholder organizations from the naturopathic medicine profession. The NMC is hosted by the Institute for Natural Medicine.
This collaborative allows national, state and specialty associations, accredited naturopathic medical colleges, research institutions and other leaders within naturopathic medicine to work together to advance the profession.

A conversation for the future
In July 2018, we kicked off a key joint program - a year-long facilitated process dubbed "the Conversation for the Future of Naturopathic Medicine." The goals of this facilitated process are to hear input from all individuals and organizations that care about the naturopathic profession’s future and to ultimately unify around an action agenda that will best serve the health of patients, the public, and the planet.
