From Caribbean food to a bouncy castle, the university’s NMSA chapter showcases the work of ND students and the value of naturopathic medicine.

To celebrate Naturopathic Medicine Week 2024, students at the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) have organized a week full of events to showcase the work being done by their peers in the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program and across campus.

Naturopathic Medicine Week, which is organized by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, takes place annually to showcase the value of naturopathic medicine. This year’s theme is “Revolutionizing Wellness: Naturopathic Medicine for Whole Person Health Care.”

NUNM’s chapter of the Naturopathic Medical Student Association (NMSA) leads the university in celebrating the week with events — both informative and fun — for students, faculty, and staff:
