Education and Licensure of Practitioners
Education and licensing differ for the three types of naturopathic practitioners:

• Naturopathic physicians generally complete a 4-year, graduate-level program at one of the North American naturopathic medical schools accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education, an organization recognized for accreditation purposes by the U.S. Department of Education. Some U.S. states and territories have licensing requirements for naturopathic physicians; others don’t. In those jurisdictions that have licensing requirements, naturopathic physicians must graduate from a 4-year naturopathic medical college and pass an examination to receive a license. They must also fulfill annual continuing education requirements.
• Traditional naturopaths, also known simply as “naturopaths,” may receive training in a variety of ways. Training programs vary in length and content and are not accredited by organizations recognized for accreditation purposes by the U.S. Department of Education. Traditional naturopaths are often not eligible for licensing.
• Other health care providers (such as physicians, osteopathic physicians, chiropractors, dentists, and nurses) sometimes offer naturopathic treatments, functional medicine, and other holistic therapies, having pursued additional training in these areas. Training programs vary.

Doubtful. Do they have a DEA number?

No, only C3-C5 in CA. States decide who can prescribe what and the DEA grants the authority. If a state decides a cosmetician can prescribe a C2 the DEA will issue the certificate to do it.

Correct. CA BOP doesn't allow C2s even under collaborative practice. Recently had that come up locally when the supervising MD retired and sold the practice to the NDs she worked with. No more morphine for that patient.
