Welcome to NUPATH.ORG!
A site designed to create public awareness about homeopathic medicine and to service its member practitioners with updated industry news and regulation information, while providing helpful practice resources.
NUPATH is the largest and oldest national professional association for homeopaths in Canada. Homeopathy (after 200 years!) is riding the wave of increased public acceptance, and demand for alternative and complementary medicine. While homeopathy is legal in Ontario, and there are many practitioners in other provinces, there was no national standards-setting body until NUPATH was established in 1993 to this end.
The public demands and deserves high standards of education and practice in their health-care professionals. NUPATH works to ensure that professional homeopaths are of the highest quality and integrity possible and is also helping to advance public access to quality health care that includes homeopathic medicine.
Practitioner (Active) Members of NUPATH, having met or exceeded the standards set for homeopathic education and training, are entitled to use the designation HD(RHom.) and to refer to themselves as a Doctor of Homeopathic Medicine.
NUPATH members' services are increasingly being accepted by health-care insurance companies. The (RHom.) identifies all practitioners as being registered with NUPATH.
