Founded in 1985, the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) is the national professional society representing licensed or licensable naturopathic physicians who are graduates of four-year, residential graduates programs. Each of the seven schools in North America is either accredited, or is a candidate for accreditation by an agency of the United States Department of Education. Located in Washington, DC, the AANP has 38 official State Affiliates across the country. Our membership consists of more than 2000 student, physicians, supporting and corporate members who collectively strive to expand access to naturopathic medicine nationwide.
