And you know what? While you have to finish your intern year and sit your step 3 boards to be able to independently prescribe amoxicillin, these idiots can prescribe coumadin, dig, and oxys the day after they graduate in Oregon.

It's worse than that. In some states (e.g., California), naturopaths can prescribe controlled substances. Basically, in the 17 or so states that license naturopaths, it's a hodgepodge of laws and regulation. https://www.naturopathic.org/files/NDScopeChart2012.pdf …

Replying to @gorskon
Not exactly. It's weird in CA. NDs can only independently rx hormones. So that's only correct with T and HGH (which are hormones that are controlled substances). Everything else has to be done under the supervision of a real physician.

Yes, but I don't consider NDs the equivalent of PAs and NPs, either, both of which professions can do the same.
