If you have retired or are planning to retire from practising naturopathy in Ontario and have been practising for at least 25 years, you may want to apply for the Life Registration designation with the College. This status is granted as a unique recognition of your years of service as a regulated health care practitioner and your role in the profession.

Applications for Life Registration are reviewed by the Registration Committee monthly. Upon approval, Registrants granted this recognition are permitted to use the following titles and abbreviations:

English

• Naturopathic Doctor (Retired)
