Summary

The bill adds a new section to West Virginia’s Medical Practice Act that permits the practice of naturopathic medicine. It defines naturopathic medicine as a primary health system that blends modern science with natural therapies and requires practitioners to follow all current licensing, training, registration, and Board of Medicine oversight requirements. This would give residents another option for health care while keeping oversight consistent with other medical professions.
