About Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine

CCNM, established in 1978 in Toronto, is the largest naturopathic medical education provider and the leading research institution in North America. In 2021, the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in British Columbia merged with CCNM to establish the Toronto and Boucher campuses of the new Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM).  The CCNM - Toronto Campus offers the only Doctor of Naturopathy degree in Canada, a four-year, full-time program. At the CCNM - Boucher Campus in New Westminster, B.C., our cohort model of education highlights the value of interpersonal relationships during the learning process. Classmates and instructors alike provide support to create a strong community for each student.
