NAPCP Statement 02/22/22
After much discussion and membership engagement, the NAPCP is proud to announce the completion of our Primary Care Position Paper. The NAPCP endeavors to set the standard for high-quality evidence-informed naturopathic primary care and the position paper is the culmination of a multi-year process to formalize our organization's commitment to clinical excellence. We are excited to share it with you!
NAPCP STATEMENT 08/30/2021
As a national organization, The Naturopathic Academy of Primary Care Physicians (NAPCP) supports ongoing efforts from both state and federal entities to ensure the safety of all people. As such, NAPCP endorses the requirements and recommendations for the immunization of all healthcare personnel against COVID-19 to protect themselves, their patients and families, and their communities.
The NAPCP recommends practitioners follow CDC and public health guidelines regarding all matters related to COVID-19.

NAPCP STATEMENT 07/18/2021
The NAPCP is aware of the recent arrest of a licensed ND in California, on substantial charges of falsifying immunization records for both COVID-19 and routine childhood immunizations, as well as profiting from the sale of ineffective vaccine alternatives which leave affected individuals at risk of preventable illnesses. These allegations represent an egregious ethical violation and are diametrically opposed to the standards of primary care to which Naturopathic Physicians are trained. The NAPCP condemns this reprehensible conduct and fully supports the investigation into any wrongdoing by this individual.
The NAPCP's stance on the importance of immunization is clearly outlined in our position paper, and the academy strongly recommends all members to follow CDC/ACIP immunization guidelines.
Signed,
NAPCP Board of Directors
