What is the Legislative Track?
A group within NMSA for students interested in naturopathic licensure.

Why should I get involved? This track is great for students that:

• Want to see naturopathic medicine licensed in all 50 states
• Come from unlicensed states and want to be active in efforts for change
• Want to network with students from other schools and discuss legislative efforts
• Would like to form strong political action groups among all CNME schools for specific states
• Understand the benefits of collaboration among all CNME schools and the benefits it can have on licensure efforts
• Are interested in naturopathic legislation on a national level.
• Are creative and have ideas on promoting the future profession

What happened in the NMSA Legislative Track in past years?
