Welche Qualifikationen und Kompetenzen vermittelt ein Lehrgang zum Naturarzt / zur Naturärztin?
What qualifications and skills does a course to become a naturopath teach?
ATTENTION: Are you interested in training to become a "naturopath"? - Then you should know: These designations are no longer permitted in Switzerland, as the word components "doctor" and "physician" are only permitted for people with a university degree and qualification. The term "naturopath", on the other hand, is just right for you.
Comprehensive training courses to become a naturopath will teach you:
- In-depth knowledge of basic medical principles
- Specialist knowledge in the chosen field of naturopathy (TCM, TEN, Ayurvedic medicine, homeopathy, traditional Tibetan medicine), the theoretical foundations, healing and disease concepts, types of diagnosis and forms of treatment
- Knowledge of the possibilities and limits of medicine
- Practical experience
You will also learn, among other things:
- Providing first aid
- design your work professionally and assess it critically
- work independently in your own naturopathic practice and collaborate with other facilities (medical practices, spa centers, drugstores, pharmacies, naturopathic practices)
You can find detailed information in ourGuide to training and continuing education, further training in naturopathy and complementary therapy.
