Accreditation for naturopathic programs in the United States is an entirely “voluntary” process. The American Naturopathic Medical Accreditation Board (ANMAB) has provided to the International Quantum University for Integrative Medicine (IQUIM) a private accreditation that is not recognized by the United States Secretary of Education. However, accreditation for an institution of learning represents a “validation” that the school programs have been thoroughly investigated and found worthy of recognition. This investigation is conducted by a qualified group of professionals familiar with the naturopathic programs offered. Students and institutions of learning have come to rely on decisions from ANMAB as a reliable source for determining quality in education. The ANMAB has many years of experience and expertise evaluating naturopathic and natural healthcare programs. www.anmab.org
