Chinese Medicine/NaturopathicCareers?!
Question: Chinese Medicine/NaturopathicCareers?
Answers:
You may be interested in becoming an osteopathic physician. Both DO's and MD's receive equivalent training, and are considered equivalent physicians for all medical procedures in the United States.
A main difference in the DO curriculum is the inclusion of manipulation techniques. Basically you learn how to do cool stuff with your hands. DO schools often have more of an emphasis on a holistic approach to health.
*Edit* I would also stay away from the "alternative"medicine.
What do they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.

Conventional medicine IS by nature holistic. And it is not only critical towards alternative (to) medicine. It is also very critical towards itself, and it is self correcting. When better evidence emerges, its practices change.
Practitioners of various kinds of alternative (to) medicine stubbornly refuse to step out of their boxes, and absorb new knowledge.
In all fairness naturopathy has something in common with conventional medicine. The preventive lifestyle advocated by naturopathy is consonant with recommendations of conventional medicine (but more elaborate though).
to do medical degree or want be dr you got to want to with every beat of heart so if you feel it not for you then do not do it,or you be miserable as sin

Don't shoot the messenger
Generally MLMs or pyramid schemes are the way to go. With a lot of luck you will be selling things that don't actually cause any harm.

That would be a horrible waste of your (very expensive) college career. Surely you understand that alt -meds such as these are just unproven, sometimes dangerous scams?
