6 MORE DAYS TO MAKE YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
The Department of Education has formally released its draft rule for a public comment period.
The draft still proposes to exclude the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) from the definition of a "Professional Degree" I had to borrow over $200K in federal loans (which I've repaid in full) to get my doctorate. If you want to have continued access to Naturopathic Doctors in years to come, for you and your loved ones, please submit your comment.
This isn’t just a labeling issue—it’s a direct hit to the future of naturopathic medicine by closing the door for many aspiring naturopathic doctors.
The good news?
The Department of Education has the power to fix this right now. But they need to hear from YOU.
