Student Voices
We believe that the issues and concerns facing students today are central to learning and practicing, and giving voice to these topics is critical. With this in mind, we are pleased to introduce you to, “Student Voices”, our student representative area where students talk to students.
Our goal is to provide an online forum to them to circulate news and opinions about current issues and events at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine and Bastyr University, as well as general issues and events relevant to the broader professional community. Our student representatives will also serve as a conduit of information for students regarding questions they may have about Bioclinic Naturals products, research and development, and upcoming events.
Student Voices' main objectives are to help promote the civic engagement of students, to provide a platform for discussion and medium of dialogue between students of integrative medicine in various disciplines, and to compel action in support of policies that will benefit many. Student Voices strives to inform people about relevant social and health issues that may concern students, future health care professionals, and those interested in integrative medicine.
