NCNM Quick Facts & FiguresEstablished in 1956 under the name National College of Naturopathic Medicine, NCNM is the oldest programmatically accredited naturopathic medical educational institution in North America. During its first four decades of existence, the college had one primary objective: education leading to the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND) degree. In the 1990s, the college began a period of rapid growth and change, leading to an expansion in the college mission to include the training of classical Chinese medicine practitioners. In 2006, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, NCNM announced a change in name from National College of Naturopathic Medicine to National College of Natural Medicine, honoring the shift from a single to a multiple purpose institution. Campus acreage, buildingsThe NCNM campus footprint includes 5.4 net acres excluding public rights-of-way. NCNM currently owns 4.3 acres (80%) within the footprint. The college campus consists of four buildings in close proximity to each other: the Academic Building, which houses academic classes and some support services; the Administration Building; the newly renovated NCNM Clinic, designed for delivery of naturopathic and acupuncture/Chinese medicine; and the NCNM Annex which houses a large classroom and conference rooms. In addition, NCNM owns a property a few blocks from the campus that is currently vacant but is projected to soon house Helfgott Research Institute. NCNM also provides healthcare services at 17 off-campus clinic affiliation sites. President and CEO: David J.
