Job Shadow in Naturopathic Medicine (Phoenix, AZ)
Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM) is an accredited, four-year naturopathic medical school located in Tempe, Arizona. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession that treats the root cause of an illness (not just the symptoms), by combining the best of conventional medicine and alternative therapies to help patients achieve optimal health. Students at SCNM study biomedical sciences, as well as time-tested natural healing modalities such as nutrition, botanical medicine, and acupuncture. With a state-of-the-art medical center and integrative Neil Riordan Center for Regenerative Medicine on campus, students graduate with the clinical experience necessary to become successful naturopathic doctors.
The Host for this opportunity is Sara Teets, the Administrations Recruiter who loves helping students on their journey to becoming naturopathic doctors!
Job shadow students will have the opportunity to shadow an naturopathic doctor (ND) and clinical students for a 4-hour clinical shift in the SCNM medical center. Many of our doctors focus on general family practice, though some focus on particular areas such as pediatrics, women's health, sports medicine, or regenerative medicine. Job shadow students will observe as the NDs and students discuss the patient history, see patients, and develop a treatment plan.
The dates for this shadow would fall on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 5-6th.
Students who would benefit students interested in medical school or holistic health. Pre-Health or Pre-Med majors are most likely to be interested, or those studying nutrition, exercise science, biomedical sciences, etc.
