Prescriptive Authority – Naturopathic Doctors are licensed to prescribe medications in B.C. This improves primary care options for patients, eases the burden on our health system, and reduces waiting times. Most importantly, it increases patient choice in the health care that can be provided to them. Naturopathic Physicians still continue to treat patients using the same natural therapies they have always used, however this new regulation enhances treatment options to best suit the patient.
