Question:
My German fiance has a German degree in heilpraktiker/alternative medicine can she practice in the USA?

Will this degree translate into an american degree or will she have to take an american version of the testing to verify her training or will she have to retrain at an american center for this practice?

Answer: It depends on the state in which she wants to practice and those regulations vary widely. In my state, for example, naturopathy isn't regulated at all but in 2 bordering states it's actually illegal. In another state, though, credentialed naturopaths can do everything an M.D. can except prescribe medications and perform surgeries.

I would contact the Department of Health of whatever state you all are planning to live in and ask them. And check out that state's web site, too. Most states in the US are really good about publishing their regs online.
