Historical Note
The National College of Naturopathic Medicine was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1956, offering four-year courses for a degree of doctor of naturopathy, a field of alternative medicine. Initially located at 2150 SE Hawthorne Boulevard, it later relocated to 510 SW 3rd Avenue and then to 11231 SE Market Street. In 2006, it changed its name to the National College of Natural Medicine, and by 2016 was named the National University of Natural Medicine. As of 2009, it was one of four accredited naturopathic schools in the United States.
