About Us

The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners Inc. was established in 1998. Our Not-for-Profit Corporation #4138929 - The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners™ Canada grew out of the original Institution. In keeping with our mission to safeguard the identity and services of our members, we established trademarked and protected titles used under the authority of The World Board of Natural Medicine.

In recent years, The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners™ Canada has functioned both as a Board and a Non-Legislated Healthcare Association for Natural Medicine Practitioners© and Practitioners of Natural Healing®. The EBNMP™ Canada Association registers members by the Province in which they practice, their educational level and scope of practice.

Our Function

The Examining Board Of Natural Medicine Practitioners™ Canada is a Self-regulatory Board for Non-Legislated Healthcare Practitioners that acknowledges that the resurgence of interest in Natural Medicine should and will encounter close scrutiny from individuals in and outside of the profession of Natural Medicine and Healing.

Some Practitioners of Natural Healing® as well as Natural Medicine Practitioners© are still unregulated and this has led to a number of untrained individuals in the field of Practice. The public, for the most part, has no way of differentiating between trained or untrained Healthcare Practitioners.

The Examining Board of Natural Medicine Practitioners™ Canada is seeking to create a greater awareness of professionalism, ethics, research, and educational standards, to protect the public and to satisfy the growing need for an ever-increasing, well-rounded health care system.
