Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians

What Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians does

HANP is a nonprofit specialty professional organization headquartered in Lafayette, Colorado, that serves naturopathic physicians (NDs) practicing or interested in classical homeopathy in the United States and Canada. Its principal product is the Diplomate of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians (DHANP) board certification, which it administers as the recognized credential for NDs in homeopathic medicine. Beyond credentialing, HANP operates a continuing education (CE) course catalog priced from $20 to $495 per course, a clinical mentorship program (re-introduced January 2024), tiered annual membership (Student, Friend, New Practitioner, Professional Associate at $30-$150+ per year), and publishes the Simillimum peer-reviewed journal with an archive spanning 67 issues. The organization distributes content through its website and a YouTube channel; it does not operate a proprietary technology platform, and its intellectual property is principally its certification standards, journal archive, and institutional knowledge in homeopathic clinical practice.

The revenue model is characteristic of a professional membership association: annual membership dues, individual CE course fees, DHANP application and recertification fees ($250), conference registrations, and donations or sponsorships. In September 2022, HANP merged with the American Board of Homeopathic Medicine (ABHM), extending an equivalent credentialing pathway to MDs, DOs, NPs, and PAs, and triggering a governance restructuring with equal board representation for the merged constituencies. In September 2024, the organization co-hosted the Collaborative Homeopathic Conference with related bodies representing nurses and veterinary homeopaths, signaling an intent to function as a multi-disciplinary homeopathic coalition rather than an ND-only body. The merger and conference co-hosting represent the most material strategic shifts in the organization's recent trajectory.

HANP's customer base is dispersed individual practitioners with no disclosed enterprise or institutional anchor accounts, implying a low-concentration revenue profile but also a structurally limited addressable market (U.S. and Canadian NDs, and post-merger, additional licensed clinician categories). No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary software, or technology platform are evident in the input, consistent with the organization's role as a credentialing, education, and community body rather than a technology vendor.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Bastyr University: Accredited naturopathic medical school with a homeopathy department (including faculty such as Nazanin Vassighi, a HANP instructor). Comparable as an emerging pipeline source of homeopathic-specialty NDs who become HANP's prospective credentialing and membership customers.
• Sonoran University of Health Sciences: Accredited naturopathic medical school and host venue for the 2024 Collaborative Homeopathic Conference; previous home institution of HANP President Jamie Oskin. Functions as a key pipeline feeder and event partner for HANP's specialty community.

Direct peers

• Association of Veterinary Homeopaths (AVH): Veterinary specialty homeopathy association that co-hosts the Collaborative Homeopathic Conference. Directly comparable as a peer specialty organization but serving veterinarians rather than human-medicine clinicians.
• American Institute of Homeopathy (AIH): The oldest national medical professional organization in the US dedicated to homeopathy. AIH is HANP's most direct peer—it represents MD/DO homeopaths where HANP represents ND homeopaths, and the two organizations co-host the Collaborative Homeopathic Conference and jointly administer credentialing via ABHM.
• New England School of Homeopathy (NESH): Founded by Paul Herscu (a DHANP-credentialed HANP instructor), NESH is a leading homeopathic training institution and HANP sponsor. Comparable as a homeopathic education provider offering foundational and continuing homeopathic training to the same target audience.
• Council for Homeopathic Certification (CHC): CHC certifies the Certified Classical Homeopath (CCH) credential for non-licensed homeopathic practitioners. It is a directly analogous specialty certification body in the homeopathy ecosystem and represents both a credentialing peer and a potential partnership pathway for HANP's CCH-eligible CE catalog.
• Homeopathic Nurses Association (HNA): Specialty nursing organization for nurses practicing homeopathy; co-hosts the Collaborative Homeopathic Conference with HANP, AIH, and AVH. Directly comparable as a professional specialty association in the homeopathy ecosystem serving a different licensed clinician segment.

Broad incumbents

• National Center for Homeopathy (NCH): NCH is a broader, consumer-facing homeopathy advocacy and education organization that predates HANP and serves a wider audience including laypeople and allied health professionals. It overlaps with HANP in professional CE offerings but addresses a much larger, less specialized market.
• American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP): AANP is the umbrella professional association for the entire naturopathic profession, of which HANP is a recognized specialty society. HANP's DHANP-credentialed members are a subset of AANP's broader membership, and the two organizations coordinate on CE accreditation and advocacy.

Others

• Whole Health Now: Online CE platform partner that distributes HANP's Core Curriculum Bundle to past purchasers. Comparable as a distribution/infrastructure partner for homeopathic CE and a complementary channel rather than a direct competitor.
