Bastyr University Celebrates Naturopathic Medicine Week
Happy Naturopathic Medicine Week! Ever since the first official ND Week in 2013, our community has used this opportunity to educate the public on what naturopathic medicine is and how it can help to transform health care. We hope you’ll celebrate with us! This year’s theme is “Better Health, Together.” According to the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, the theme “celebrat[es] the inclusion of naturopathic medicine as part of a holistic approach to achieving better health outcomes.”
Three areas all NDs hope to expand:
- Partnering with Patients
- Partnering with health care professionals
- Partnering with Future NDs

ND Schools Battle for the Avocado Trophy
Naturopathic Medicine Students compete every year for the avocado trophy and bragging rights for ND week through a social media challenge. Students are encouraged to post to their social media channels to gain points for their school. For example, students can earn ten points for posting about the therapeutic order, 20 points for making your own naturopathic medicine meme, or 35 points for getting an instructor to wear an avocado costume during a lecture.
