The naturopathic physician of tomorrow will have a truly caring nature and genuine desire to serve, will commit to the on-going practise of self-reflection and personal growth, and will have a passionate belief in the efficacy of complementary medicine. The ethical ideal of "making a difference" must be supported and enlightened by the realisation that, in order to make a difference we must first "live this difference". Living this difference invariably means practising what we preach both as a career and vocational choice, and also as a lifestyle commitment that we make everyday of our lives.

The naturopathic physician will be a leader in a cultural transformation that adamantly rejects "living longer" via drugs, surgical interventions and scientific technology, without "living better". He/she will explore natural therapies, modalities and lifestyles that offer us a desirable and achievable quality of life.

The value system of the physician of the future will recognise and validate the precious vulnerability of all patients as persons and cherish the inherent worth and dignity of our common humanity. He/she will be a visionary who knows we sometimes have to go back to our past and to nature, to the belief in the natural healing power of the body, mind and spirit, in order to go forward to optimal health and well-being.
