The BC government has granted ND’s who have passed accreditation exams the authority to write prescriptions for most general practice medications. Both Dr. Entner and Dr. Spooner have had prescriptive authority when practicing in the US and will be able to do so in BC starting in September.Why do ND’s Need Prescriptive Rights?
As patients seek more holistic care, ND’s have taken on a more signi!cant role in the health care system. Prescriptive authority allows us to provide a broader range of care. Another reason is that traditional substances such as high dose vitamins, amino acids, hormones, and botanicals have gradually become ‘scheduled drugs‘ which are available only by prescription. If you have any questions please give us a call.
