Nobody said medical school
would be easy.
Make no mistake about it: National
University is a demanding program. Our
basic science courses and labs are as
rigorous as those of allopathic medical
schools, and lay the groundwork for
training that provides clinical mastery and
practical experience. It’s an innovative,
evidence-based approach that empowers
students to reach higher.
National University provides students with
a unique opportunity to expand their
practice opportunities by earning a dual
degree. Our continuing education
programs, residencies, postprofessional
programs and partnerships with other
respected institutions broaden students’
knowledge base, allowing them to serve a
more diverse population of patients.
Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
Our acupuncture and oriental medicine programs are one of the few to incorporate
cadaver dissection into acupuncture point and meridian studies. This integration of eastern
and western medical modalities creates new insight and opportunities for graduates.
Chiropractic Medicine
Our Evaluation and Management classes in the chiropractic program apply basic sciences
to medical diagnosis and treatment. Students connect what’s happening in the exam room
with what they’re learning in the classroom, and begin practicing adjusting techniques
during their second trimester.
Naturopathic Medicine
In naturopathic medicine, knowledge of the basic sciences assists in diagnosis, treatment
and prevention of disease. Our Determinants of Health course teaches students how
to apply science coursework to naturopathic principles, providing a solid foundation for
clinical training and practice.
the demands are great — the rewards are even greater .
