I am a naturopath and have been unable to figure out the rationale for the limited formulary we've had.  A formulary based on naturally derived substances covers many of the drug classes but currently limits my ability to offer comprehensive care to my patients.  In my opinion, we should either have full prescribing rights or none at all. With that said, the right to full prescribing rights should come with the demand for better education in the use of pharmaceuticals than is currently taught and continuing education and testing requirements toward that end.
