BCND New Graduate Celebration 2026

Thank you to everyone who joined BCND for an incredible evening bringing together new graduates and practicing naturopathic doctors from across British Columbia for connection, conversation, and community. We also appreciated the support of our gold sponsor, Cytomatrix.

The event created a meaningful space for practitioners at different stages of their careers to come together, share experiences, reflect on the realities of practice, and build relationships that will continue to strengthen the profession in the years ahead. It was wonderful to see new graduates engaging so openly with experienced clinicians, and equally encouraging to see so many established practitioners taking the time to support and welcome the next generation of naturopathic doctors into practice.

The evening featured a thoughtful keynote address from Dr. Christoph Kind, ND, insights into clinical practice and professional life from Dr. Scott Tyler, ND, and a special announcement from Dr. Mike Reierson, ND regarding upcoming workshops designed specifically to support new graduates as they transition into practice, with more details to be shared soon.

Most importantly, the event was a reminder of the strength of community within the naturopathic profession. From conversations about clinical practice and professional growth to moments of laughter and genuine connection, the evening reflected the collaborative and supportive spirit that continues to define naturopathic medicine in BC.

To our new graduates, congratulations once again on reaching this important milestone. We look forward to watching you enter the profession, grow as clinicians, and contribute your own unique perspectives, skills, and leadership to the future of naturopathic medicine in British Columbia.

And to everyone who attended, thank you for helping make the evening such a success. We are grateful to be building this profession together.
