This bill establishes provisions regarding the licensure of naturopathic medical doctors (NMDs) in the state of Idaho. It defines key terms like "naturopathic medicine," "naturopathic medical formulary," and "minor office procedures," and outlines the scope of practice for NMDs, which includes primary care services, the use of certain prescription drugs and medical devices, and the performance of minor office procedures. The bill also creates a Naturopathic Medical Board to make recommendations and consult with the Idaho Board of Medicine on matters related to the licensing and regulation of NMDs. The bill sets forth the qualifications for licensure, including graduation from an approved naturopathic medical program and passing a national licensing examination, as well as grounds for disciplining or denying a license. The bill also prohibits individuals from practicing naturopathic medicine or using certain titles without a valid license.
