The EBNMP™ was first formed as The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners Inc., founded in 1998, to service the need of an ever growing demand for natural medicine health care in Ontario. The founding directors adopted the principles and model of the WHO sanctioned Medicina Alternativa Institute - Alma-Ata 1962 Accord. In 2003, the founding directors established The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners™ Canada, affectionately known as EBNMP™ Canada, a Not-for-Profit Corporation #4138929. As a result of this new Not-for-Profit Corporation, all other entities that would resemble or bear the name of EBNMP™ were closed. Furthermore, in order to safeguard the identity and services of our members, we established trademarked and protected titles. The World Board of Natural Medicine (WBNM) retains all trademark, certification mark, and other ownership rights and written permission must be obtained before usage. Since 2008, EBNMP™ Canada has functioned as an Association for Natural Medicine Practitioners© who are identified by the WBNM titles. It maintains its high standards of professionalism and its mandate is to support and protect the practitioners. The Regional Divisions adhere to strict guidelines on the standard of natural medicine practice as well as the use of World Board of Natural Medicine trademarked titles and designations. The structure of the EBNMP™ Canada Association is a committee comprised of the Chairman, the President, the Secretary General and Regional Directors who are tireless in their support of the natural medicine movement and are versed in provincial issues. The EBNMP™ Canada Association registers members by the Province in which they practice and keeps a record of the same membership information as the official Registration document (WBNM Certificate). Renewal stickers are not needed for this certificate.
