Discipline Outcomes

Decisions and Reasons

The College of Naturopaths of Ontario became the regulatory authority governing naturopathic doctors on July 1, 2015. Since then, all disciplinary matters governing College Registrants are determined by a panel of the Discipline Committee.

Decisions and Reasons for disciplinary matters are posted on the naturopath’s profile in the Naturopathic Doctor Register, which is part of the College’s Public Registers. Copies are also posted below.

For hearings held after October 25, 2018, the College also posts all exhibits filed, as well as any other information specified by the Discipline Panel in accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Discipline Committee.

Decisions and Reasons—Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy Naturopathy

The Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy – Naturopathy (BDDT-N) was the regulatory authority governing naturopathic doctors until June 30, 2015. The BDDT-N ceased to exist on July 1, 2015 upon proclamation of the Naturopathy Act, 2007 and the establishment of the College of Naturopaths of Ontario.

Before it was dissolved, the BDDT-N concluded several disciplinary matters. Decisions and Reasons posted during the five years prior to the act’s proclamation are included in the Colleges’ Naturopathic Doctor Register and can be found below.
