Centralized application service makes life easier for aspiring naturopathic doctors

The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) is pleased to announce the first centralized application service for naturopathic medical (ND) school applicants. Scheduled to launch in September 2011, the Naturopathic Doctor Centralized Application Service (NDCAS) is well into development, and is currently in the process of enrolling participating schools into the service. At this time the following naturopathic schools plan to offer this online service to their fall 2011 applicants: Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine (Vancouver, British Columbia), Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Toronto, Ontario), Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences (Phoenix, Arizona), University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine (Bridgeport, Connecticut). NDCAS will serve to streamline and simplify the application process for prospective students applying to multiple ND schools, thereby reducing both time and cost. The applicant will simply submit a single application through NDCAS and select his or her schools of choice. Student applicants may then monitor the progress and status of their application online, and may acquire assistance through the helpline during business hours. The participating schools look forward to seeing an enthusiastic response from the fall 2011 ND school applicants.
