Section 685.020 - License required to practice naturopathic medicine; use of certain titles and abbreviations; license exemption for students.


(2) Only licensees under this chapter may use any or all of the following terms, consistent with academic degrees earned: "Doctor of Naturopathy" or its abbreviation, "N.D.," "Naturopath" or "Naturopathic Physician."

[Amended by 1997 c.560 §1; 2001 c.526 §1; 2009 c.43 §12]
