Description
Naturopathic medicine is generally defined as a “distinct system of primary health care”. But is it really, or should it even be?
In this course, Dr. Jared Zeff will clearly define what primary care medicine is and subsequently go on to discuss what are the main difference between conventional primary care and naturopathic primary care. Of particular concern in this course will be the question of “standards of care” and whether naturopathic standards are different than conventional standards.
If you’d like to know more about the differences between a naturopathic and a conventional primary care approach, then this course is just right!
