Quebec Union of professional naturopaths

Canadian Union of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Practitioners (CUCAMP)

The Quebec Union of Professional Naturopaths (SPNQ) division of the CPMDQ

Constituted under the laws of the S-40 chapter of the trade-union laws, published in the Official Gazette of Quebec in August 1991, the CPMDQ is a Trade union with nonlucrative goals which manages mainly therapists with-in alternative medicine. Since 1991, the Corporation also gathers naturopathes. The CPMDQ legally reserved the name “ Quebec Union of Professional Naturopaths ” with the Registraire of the Inspector general of Quebec. The recording of this name was to identify our naturopath members in a respective group of their profession.

who at summer formed like service with the profession of the naturopathes. Its objective is to standardize the formation of the naturopathes of Quebec. The “CENQ” makes sure of the quality of teaching as well as competence of the students and/or candidates who answered requirements for acceptability of examination. The “CENQ” is thus an office of examination and quality control of the education of the naturopathes. The council of five members “CENQ” works in consultation with a Consultative Committee which is structured to have representatives of:

CENQ is a non-profit organization independent and of which the goal is to prepare high quality, the reliable examinations which evaluate the competence of the naturopathes of entry-level to go well to the doctor naturopathy license/register. The Council of the CENQ has chairs of examination which supervises the process of development and examination, is charged to receive the candidates naturopathes, wishing to be recognized by an assembly of their piers.

The title of Naturopath is a label of competence, a reference, following what the naturopathe will be registered in the directory of the Quebec Union of Professional Naturopaths.

He may also be able to present himself at the General meeting if he wishes to become a member of the Board of directors of the Quebec Union of Professional Naturopaths.

The commission meets to receive the candidates whom are entitled to recieve the title of Naturopath with at least five members, except with the exemption of a vote by the A.C. Punctually, any member of the board can sit at this commission.

(CENQ) meets once a month to receive the candidates whose file of request for establishment of the naturopath title is complete, i.e. presents all written information answering the requested criteria and information.

The discussion with the candidate lasts thirty minutes, the following which the Members of the Commission of naturopaths vote (they cannot abstain from), in favour of the establishment of the naturopath's title or the adjournment.

The decision is ratified by the board, starting from the report/ratio which is submitted to him by other naturopath members of the (CENQ) present during the interview of the candidate.

In the case of an adjournment, the candidate is invited by mail to deepen such or such insufficient criterion. The preliminary study of the file generally avoids the convocation of a candidate who would not present any qualification at the trade of naturopathe.

The more so as during adhesion to the Trade union, three possibilities are proposed which distinguish the people being able to claim with the establishment of those which do not enter the criteria: associate members (it acts people exerting another trade but wishing to receive the information disseminated by the trade union of the naturopathes), them

members studying (the student registered in a recognized educational establishment), and the adherent members (who are already naturopathe, even beginners).

In addition to the reception of the candidates, it (CENQ) worked more specifically on the manner of evaluating the qualities awaited at the applicant with establishment.

Thus for each principal criterion:
    - formation.
    - the professional experience.
    - the supervision.
we sought to distinguish the observable indices from the measurable and quantifiable indices of a naturopath.

Because to assess is the qualities of a naturopathe are eminently subjective (psychotherapy), how thus to objectify part of the necessary criteria?

A report of this work will be soon available in the form of summary in this heading.

The CPMDQ established the highest standards formation ethics with, inter alia, a committee of discipline of the naturopathes which treats effectively very felt sorry for written of the public.
“Alternative medicine” are medicines which do not use or very little the chemical substances, nor the surgery. (Villeneuve, C.) Survey near the Québécois users of alternative medicine, Office of the professions of Quebec, August 1991, page (6) article (1.5)

However, in spite of the absence of legislation, the naturopathy is not illegal. It is simply a profession not yet legally recognized by the Office of the professions of Quebec as it is the situation for the physical teachers, the biologists, and for good of other disciplines which however have a formation recognized by the ministry for Education or that of the Higher education and Science, which is not yet the case for the naturopathy.

As its name indicates it, naturopathy called upon natural methods to bring a quality of life, form and environment. In spite of a good hygiene of life, we all are likely to be exposed to various stresses or of living experiments harmful, traumatic, which will undermine our health. The profession of naturopathe, in the field of the care of health, is centered on the prevention and it employs natural methods and substances to improve the re-establishment of the people. The naturopathes examine the patients, pose diagnoses and look after the patients. Their method stresses the support and stimulation of the mechanisms of cure inherent in the body. It will be then necessary to intervene to choose therapeutic the most adequate. Expensive with the antiques traditions, the naturopathy treats vital energy human being of which great care should be taken. This vital energy, partly generic, becomes exhausted little by little with the age and the many ones devitalizing, for example; tobacco, alcohol, the abuse drugs or drug, chemical pollution, the electromagnetic ones, stress, overwork etc…

Neither doctor MD, nor healers, naturopathes N.D., are teachers of the health who, with an aim first, incite their patients to adopt a life style favorable to health. Knowing that a good hygiene of life is essential for the maintenance of a good health, naturopathe N.D., or Doctor in naturopathy, offers to its patient a vital assessment which determines the factors of risks and the tendencies hereditary predisposing with the diseases.

The principal role of naturopathes N.D., are initially to carry out the interventions necessary in order to prevent the development, risks of diseases. The vital assessment establishes by the naturopathe leads to an important teaching dialogue which responsabilise the patient towards a reharmonisation of his daily habits mainly towards the hygiene of life, phytotherapy, clinical nutrition, ect.

The Naturopathe N.D., trys to avoid or delay diseases, and is professionally formed to guide its patients towards better food practices, exercise, rest and sleep, management of stress etc….

The duration of the formation of the certified naturopathe (n.d.) is of 1000 hours minimum academic close including various work and obligatory research. The taught subjects are the anatomy/physiology mainly internal organs, pathology, the nutrition, the phytotherapy and the study of the signs and symptoms.

With regard to the formation leading to the doctorate in naturopathy (N.D.), it is considerably more elaborate than certification to (n.d.). The doctorate consists of a 5400 hours minimum academic with the result that the doctor in naturopathy (N.D.) has strong knowledge on the level of the anatomy/physiology, pathologies, nutrition, herbology for example; on the various medicinal plants or essential oils, manual therapy for example; maybe into chiropratic, kinesitherapy, osteopathy or massothérapie, of the various techniques in psychotherapy for example a strong knowledge on the level of the hypnothérapie, homeopathic medicine, Chinese medicine for example; acupresure, Chinese herbology, nutrition according to Chinese traditional medicine, Chinese pulse and of the energy techniques for example it (M.R.P). Moreover, naturopathe N.D., must presented and to deposit a thesis with the 200 hours equivalence for obtaining its title of doctor recognized by “Canadian Council of Naturopathic Examiners” (CCNE).
