Preceptorships
Preceptoring is a component of the ND program that allows students to observe health-care practitioners in the community. The goal of the preceptor program is to give CCNM students a wide variety of experiences in different health-care settings in order to develop the clinical knowledge, attitudes and skills relevant to the role of a naturopathic doctor.

Leading Innovation in the Naturopathic Community (LINC)
CCNM - Boucher Campus offers a formal mentorship program called Leading Innovation in the Naturopathic Community (LINC) to:
  • Provide opportunities for enhanced networking and collaboration amongst the naturopathic community across Canada
  • Provide a platform for discussion and development of innovative ideas
  • Support the development of successful naturopathic practitioners for the provision of excellence in health care
LINC is comprised of exemplary naturopathic physicians who embody the spirit of naturopathic medicine, and who want to support the continuous growth and development of both CCNM - Boucher Campus students, and of naturopathic medicine in North America
Mentors counsel mentees on professionalism, development, and sustainability, linking how those qualities will assist them as they transition into their practice. Students take on responsibilities within their mentor’s practice to facilitate a reciprocal relationship.
