Licensing Information
The licensing authority was abolished in 1959 and licensees who were licensed at that time were allowed to continue practicing naturopathic medicine. Therefore, no one can now become licensed as a naturopathic physician or practice this profession in Florida, unless they are one of the remaining people who currently hold a license. If someone were holding himself out as one of these licensees, then that person could be prosecuted for unlicensed activity.

Continuing Education
Completion of a 2-day educational program conducted by the Florida Naturopathic Physicians Association, Inc., or completion of an equivalent program approved by the department.
