It includes teaching a modernized set of program outcomes using case and context-based learning approaches, integrating naturopathic curriculum content and a curriculum delivery model that includes a combination of in-person instruction, practicums, asynchronous structured learning experiences, as well as online delivery.

Positioned for Growth
We are positioned for growth as One Institution – Two Campuses – One Team. Our strategic approach for the next phase in CCNM’s rich history centers around the 5Ps (partnerships, programming, practice, participation and planning). The 5P Framework serves as the North Star to drive our objectives and actions in order to achieve CCNM’s five Ends as defined by the Board of Governors. The Framework is very much aligned to our current planning and will drive our future direction together.
