Up until 2003, Naturopathic Certifications were issued by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification and Accreditation Board (ANMCAB). This group dissolved in 2003, giving rise to two separate organizations:

1) ANCB — the American Naturopathic Certification Board, and

2) ANMAB — the American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board (visit them at www.anmab.org).

ANCB Today

As the original certification board for Traditional Naturopathy, ANCB developed nationally validated exams for naturopathic and nutritional wellness professionals. Due to ANCB's stringent application and certification requirements, ANCB is the certification organization preferred and recommended by the leading schools of Traditional Naturopathy, including Clayton College of Natural Health and Trinity College of Natural Health.

ANCB offers professional certification in Traditional Naturopathy (CTN) and Nutritional Wellness (CNW), and we work to increase the visibility and credibility of these vital health services.

ANCB's Advisory Board provides valuable assistance in areas such as organizational direction, outreach and standards. Our certified practitioners offer services in virtually all naturopathic modalities.
