The bill aims to address the state's physician shortage and improve healthcare access, particularly in rural areas. Naturopathic doctors focus on treating the person first and aim to guide patients in implementing healthy lifestyle changes. The proposed licensing structure would require doctors to graduate from accredited programs and pass a board examination, providing title protection and ensuring safety for patients.
