The GastroANP fellowship was created to distinguish Naturopathic Doctors (ND or NMD) with an additional certification specialty in the field of naturopathic gastroenterology. This is not the same as specialist training overseen by the American Board of Medical Specialties that certifies other physicians as gastroenterologists. By becoming a FABNG, each provider understands it is their duty to check their local and state regulations regarding terminology that may be used in reference to this certification. We encourage Fellows to refer to themselves as Fellows of the American Board of Naturopathic Gastroenterology.
