Dr. David Scotten, ND, Scholarship for Excellence in Naturopathic Medicine

Dr. David A. Scotten, ND has distinguished himself as a visionary and cornerstone in naturopathic medical education in Canada. As the inaugural Dean of Academic Education at the CCNM - Boucher Campus (formerly the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine) in Metro Vancouver, Dr. Scotten not only spearheaded the design and implementation of a comprehensive four-year naturopathic medical curriculum but also played an instrumental role in the institute achieving full accreditation by the Council of Naturopathic Education in 2004.

As we honour Dr. Scotten's retirement, we celebrate a luminary whose dedication shaped naturopathic medical education in Canada. The scholarship is a tribute to this achievement, and will award one enthusiastic third-year student whose leadership has positively impacted the CCNM community. We invite the community to join us in continuing his legacy of furthering naturopathic education.

Dr. Kenn Luby, ND Memorial Scholarship for Excellence in
Homeopathic Medicine

To honour the memory of Dr. Kenn Luby, ND, who passed away in August 2020, the Dr. Kenn Luby, ND Memorial Scholarship for Excellence in Homeopathic Medicine was established in November 2020 by his husband David Klausner.

A graduate of CCNM, Dr Luby, ND taught immunology at CCNM and was the first ND to be invited to speak at the International AIDS conference. He dedicated his career to caring for people with HIV/AIDS, through naturopathic medicine with a primary focus on homeopathic medicine.

Kenn was a caring naturopathic doctor who epitomized so much of what makes the profession special. The number of lives he touched as teacher, supervisor, mentor, lecturer, volunteer and naturopathic doctor are no doubt countless.

An award of $2,500 will be awarded to two third- or fourth-year students at CCNM who demonstrate excellence in Homeopathic medicine.
