BCND Advancing Naturopathic Medicine Conferences

Speaker Proposal Guidelines

In person events are postponed due to Covid19

Contact the office to arrange webinars

Potential presenters are asked to submit workshop proposals electronically. Submissions are provided to the ANM selection committee and/or BCND Board of Directors.

Lecture selections are made based on theme, cost, time constraints, applicability of workshop to delegates and the focus on health issues relevant to licensed naturopathic doctors. Special emphasis is given to lectures with a practical “take home” component, as opposed to just theory or research.

Title
A title that clearly and briefly describes the lecture content is preferred.

Abstract
Please try to limit your abstract to 500 words or less.

Synopsis

Learning Objectives
Provide three learning objectives of your lecture (and, if applicable, what participants will take away from the lecture for use in clinic).
