In Ontario, Naturopathic Medicine is a regulated health profession under the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). The College of Naturopaths of Ontario‘s role is to ensure that Naturopathic Doctors are properly qualified to practice naturopathic medicine and that they follow the appropriate standards of practice.  The provincial and national associations (the OAND and CAND) help to promote Naturopathic Medicine in Ontario and Canada.
