Support Licensure for NDs in Maryland

This is the second year that the Maryland Association of Naturopathic Physicians (MDANP) has submitted a bill to license Naturopathic Doctors to practice as physicians in Maryland. Passage of this bill would increase access to naturopathic medicine for more individuals and would be the first step needed before achieving insurance reimbursement for naturopathic services.
