The OAND proudly represents the largest community of Naturopathic Doctors in Ontario. As an association, we are committed to improving and increasing services in areas prioritized by our members. As a professional member, you will support a strong voice for the profession, be an informed and connected part of the ND community in Ontario, and gain access to the support you need to build a more successful practice.

Member Benefits

According to an old adage, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Indeed, as an OAND member, not only will you enjoy exclusive access to the association’s various programs and resources, but you will also join a dynamic community of NDs committed to championing the naturopathic profession and its countless benefits in Ontario. Remember, the OAND is YOUR association, and your membership in the OAND will benefit the profession just as much as the OAND will benefit you!

⚠️IMPORTANT UPDATE – OAND & CAND Membership

Effective immediately, OAND membership stands fully on its own. NDs are no longer required to hold a CAND membership as a condition of OAND registration.

This decision was made by OAND’s Board of Directors with one principle in mind: membership in your provincial association should be accessible and able to stand on its own merits.

We continue to respect the value of national representation — federal advocacy, the licensing exam, and interprovincial practice support are important, and we encourage members who value that work to maintain their CAND membership. Provincial and national associations serve different purposes, and those roles can be complementary.

Registration

You can join by submitting the OAND Membership Contract, including your fee category, payment and special status declaration form (if applicable) by email. If you require an alternate submission format, please phone us.
