Page 4. Portland Observer, October 21, 1987 HEALTH WATCH RS S K t On Monday, September 28th a major event happened in the field of Naturopathic Medicine the formal signing of the Department of Educa lion s recognition of the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). The CNME will now act as the federal accrediting agency or graduate colleges of Naturopathic Medicine. For the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, located in south east Portland, there are many benefits associated with federal recognition. Certainly number one on the list is the availability of GSL student loans. Another major benefit of this level of recognition is an increased access to private philanthropic grants for medical research. With pre-existing recog mtion by the CNME the National College (NCNM) will be immediately eli gible for student loans As the oldest naturopathic college in America, NCNM originally grant ed its doctoral degree through a legislative charter approved by the Oregon State Legislature In 1981 as per new educational guidelines, NCNM applied for and received certification to grant the degree of Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine by the Oregon Educational Coordinating Commis sion (OECC). The CNME s recognition will now supercede the OECC s degree. NCNM may still seek dual certification Oregon has licensed naturopathic doctors since 1927, and the present Oregon law governing naturopathic practice is one of the fairest on the west coast In Oregon, naturopathic practice is basically family practice with professional specialization in childbirth and homeopathy. Naturo pathic physicians are prohibited from performing surgeries that invade body cavities (i.e., abdomine, thorax and skull! and from using most synthetic drugs. Oregon N D s are licensed to prescribe medications through Ore gon's licensed pharmacies and are eligible for federal Drug Enforcement Agency IDEA) federal licenses as they aie recognized as the present day evolution of the American heibal doctors of rhe late 1800's and early 1900 s As a board member for NCNM, I am thrilled for the future of the col lege. The availability of student loans will increase the numbers and im prove the quality of the student experience at NCNM Under the capable leadership of President Horace Nealey NCNM now embarks on a new phase of growth and development. As must as federal accreditation means for the members of the pro fession, the greatest benefit may well be to the American and Oregon pub lic. Hopefully this recognition marks a beginning of public accessibility to naturopathic care, in such programs as Medicare for federal employees and throughout insurance plans in general.

First, it's given me the opportunity to look at the community differently - to see the problems and the programs available to help people who truly need it. "Secondly, on a personal level. I've had the chance to look at the ie d of sales to see if I can survive in it.' Unsure of her job status when she returns to First Interstate, Newell views her tenure as an L.E. as providing her with another type of oppor tunity - to make contacts with people she normally would not have the chance to meet. Loaned executive Carl Nelson, Omark Industries, is a volunteer coun selor for a United Way agency, Metro Crisis Intervention. He says, Ini tially I wanted to be a loaned executive because of my prior volunteerf work but secondly because of the development and training opportunities that are part of the L.E experience."
