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.

One of five L.E.s from First Interstate Bank of Oiegon, Michelle Newell
says being a loaned executive has given her several opportunities.
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."
Summing up the feelings of the L.E. Class of 1987, Nelson says,
