The Boucher Institute is located in the heart of downtown New Westminster, British Columbia. With the campus located steps from the Columbia skytrain station, Boucher is a 30 minute ride from downtown Vancouver. Boucher is one of only two naturopathic medical schools accredited by the US Department of Education accredited Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME) in Canada, a professional accrediting agency for naturopathic medicine programs.

Along with our commitment to offering students the highest standard of education, we also strive to preserve a community that is founded on the principles of inclusion, integrity, safety, respect, academic freedom, self-responsibility, innovation and sustainability. We endeavour to facilitate a community in which each member feels valued and supported on their journey of self-discovery and academic exploration.

Our academic philosophy strives to incorporate principles of research based learning theory, conventional academic wisdom, clinical experience and creative problem-solving. Through mentorship, students gain insight into new skills and knowledge, and familiarize themselves with the naturopathic professional landscape.

The Boucher Institute is also home to the quickly growing Boucher Naturopathic Medical Clinic. Faculty and students provide first-rate natural health care for the community and see approximately 1,000 patients per month. The clinic equips our interns with invaluable hands-on experience. We also proudly partner with external community clinics, enabling students to gain experience treating different patient populations with a range of treatment modalities.
