I am writing to urge you to support HB 13-1111 concerning the regulation of Naturopathic Doctors. Why?

• Naturopathic Doctors are well educated and trained to provide high quality, natural health care to families. Naturopathic Doctors complete a four-year graduate level clinical doctorate degree and pass national science and clinic board exams. Their instructors consist of multi-disciplinary educators with many MDs, DOs and PhDs as well as NDs and the clinical training includes approximately 2800 clinical hours under the supervision of a medical or naturopathic doctor.
• A regulatory framework will provide Coloradans greater access to safe and affordable high quality natural medicine and health care delivered by Naturopathic Doctors.
• The public deserves to know the qualifications and education of anyone calling himself or herself a Naturopathic Doctor and be able to file a complaint. Currently Naturopathic Doctors cannot obtain appropriate malpractice insurance because they are not recognized and regulated in Colorado.
• Following Sunrise Reviews, DORA has recommended TWICE that Naturopathic Doctors be regulated in Colorado. It is time to recognize the presence of skilled Naturopathic Doctors and to help them acquire a deserved and necessary legitimacy in Colorado.
