We accept one or two first-year general naturopathic residents and one second-year general naturopathic resident each year.  All are exposed to a wide range of clinical and hydrotherapy treatments and naturopathic specialties and learn the practice of integrative medicine. 

Specifically, residents:

• Work with a variety of patients in all areas of the clinic’s medical practice (including hydrotherapy),
• Conference weekly with Dr. Beeson
• Do clinical rotations with specialty physicians at eight sites (below)
• Attend weekly clinical grand rounds
• Interact with residents from the Montana Family Practice Residency Program who are in rotation at YNC
• Work with customers three hours a week at the local compounding pharmacy Juro’s
• Write newsletter and newspaper articles, give public lectures, and teach clinic classes

Financial support for the residency program comes from Seroyal, Juro’s Compounding Pharmacy, Vital Nutrients, and Nutrition Dynamics.
