The NMSA believes that the Naturopathic student experience should address not only how the practice of our medicine affects our whole patient, but also our whole world. We recognize that each of us has an impact on our fellow human beings, our environment and our global community and believe that we have the opportunity and responsibility to optimize this impact. The Health Impact branch exists to provide Naturopathic students with the tools and resources to become environmentally conscious, socially aware and globally minded physicians.

Global Health:
We recognize that naturopathic medicine is particularly well suited for resource-poor and underserved areas, that the need in these areas is great and that naturopathic physicians can help to meet this need. Furthermore, naturopathic medicine holds the unique position to serve as a bridge between traditional and contemporary systems worldwide and can do much to unite these systems in rural and urban settings.
