Summary


In Section R156-71-102, the proposed changes are nonsubstantive as they are grammatical corrections for the reference to the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). In Subsection R156-71-202(1), the proposed changes update the naturopathic physician formulary. The reference for the formulary is the 2008 edition of the American Hospital Formulary Service (AHFS). This change allows practitioners to use the 2008 edition or to access the current edition on the AHFS Drug information website. The other changes to the subsection include updating the formulary to identify non-controlled legend medications that may be used by naturopathic physicians to provide improved patient care within the scope of practice. The changes were presented by the Naturopathic Physicians Formulary Peer Committee and approved by the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Board.
