How to Get Involved & Give Back
Remember how many questions you had as a prospective student?
As an Alumni Admissions Ambassador, you can help prospective students locally and globally as they consider enrolling at NUNM. Meetings take place by phone, video call, or email—whichever option is most convenient for you and the prospective student.
Being an ambassador is not only a great way to make new connections with and keep tabs on the next generation of healers, but also to share your valuable experiences from your time as an NUNM student and natural medicine professional!

A vital part of medical education, preceptors engage students in a variety of clinical activities and demonstrate application of the art and science of medicine in practice. Preceptorship can include observation of practice, medical history-taking, physical and diagnostic examinations, and the observation or participation in therapeutic interventions and patient education.
With the ability to participate in patient care in a real-world setting, students become better prepared for their own practice. With your guidance, students grow their ability to think critically, make decisions, act professionally, and refine their organization skills. And your generosity reinforces the power of giving back to the community and natural medicine profession.
