Education Program Survey

The College of Naturopaths of Ontario has heard from several Registrants who have participated in the College's In Conversation With series that they would like to have educational programming delivered by the College.


The purpose of this survey is to determine whether this is something Registrants more broadly feel the College should be doing and if so, the way in which such programming should be delivered.

CoNO Educational Programming

Based on feedback provided to the College, some Registrant has suggested that educational program from the College would be based generally on the following approach:

  • Be held virtually.
  • Be offered at no costs.
  • Be presented by people who know the topic area.
  • Be either a single presenter or a panel presentation.
  • Include a slide presentation that participants could print.
  • Be in a congenial environment.
  • Drill down into key regulatory topics such as advertising, record keeping and other standards.
  • Have CE credits associated with it, in particular in the area of jurisprudence.
  • Allow Registrants to gain insights into all things CoNO.

Is this something that you believe the College of Naturopaths of Ontario should be doing?
