Professional Standards & Continuing Education
“The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health…in the shortest, most reliable, and least disadvantageous way, according to clearly realizable principles.”
~Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, 1842.
The Vermont Association of Naturopathic Physicians (VANP) was formed in 1992 as the professional organization for licensed Naturopathic physicians (NDs) in the State of Vermont. The VANP supports strong professional standards, continuing education for NDs, and promotion of the full scope of naturopathic medicine throughout the state and region in a regulatory environment consistent with protection of the public interest. We support inclusion, collaboration and equal access for all licensed medical professions in the health care and insurance systems. The VANP also reaches out to the public and interfaces with other professional organizations to represent naturopathic medicine and physicians in Vermont.
