• Acupuncture and Asian medicine

• Prevention and lifestyle counseling
To obtain licensure for the above scope of practice, Ontario requires the successful completion of the NPLEX homeopathy and acupuncture add-on examinations, as well as the Ontario Clinical Exams (practical examinations in acupuncture, physical examination and instrumentation, and manipulation). These practical examinations are offered in Ontario concurrent with the NPLEX examinations in August and January. In addition to the NPLEX exams, to prescribe certain natural health products and prescription medicines, licensed NDs are required to write the Therapeutic Prescribing Exam. In order to support the IVIT shifts, residents are expected to write the IVIT exam within 6 months of the beginning of the residency.

• Base salary of $36,799 for the first year.
• Allowance for 14 hours of clinical practice time per week providing 25% commission for patient visits
• Vacation Benefits

• Health Insurance Coverage, after successfully completing three months of the program
• Discounted or Tuition-free access to CCNM-sponsored Continuing Education programs when possible
• Professional Development
• Successful completion of the Residency Program requirements is acknowledged with the award of a Certificate of Completion by CNME
• Participation at one national or international conference if research project approved for presentation
Please note that if the resident is unsuccessful in being eligible for registration with the CONO in October 2016, then the candidate may not be able to start the Residency Program, and the position may be offered to another registered candidate.
