Pamela Snider, ND

Picture
Dr. Snider has devoted her career to the philosophy of naturopathic medicine, and pluralistic public policy that promotes health and choice. An internationally recognized pioneer in the philosophy of naturopathic medicine and integrative health care, she recently served as Chief Culture Officer & Special Assistant to the President at Southern California University of Health Sciences. She is Vice Chair and co-founder of the Integrative Health Policy Consortium (IHPC); Founding Executive Director and co-founder of the Academic Consortium for Integrative Health (ACIH), and served as a Planning Committee Member for 20 years on Washington State’s Health Professional Loan Repayment and Scholarship Program Planning Committee (HPLRSP). She is Associate Professor at NUNM, Adjunct Faculty at Bastyr University, and leads the Foundations of Naturopathic Medicine Institute (FNMI) as Executive and Senior Editor – an international textbook and symposia series codifying and advancing scholarship and expression of ‘the heart of naturopathic medicine.’  The FNMI has published and disseminated over 40 publications for free since its inception, hosted four international Retreats and Symposia to establish a global epistemology of Naturopathic Medicine, and has hosted thousands of faculty and students in the Emunctorology - a new and traditional clinical science; and Diversity of the Vis course series.

F
ormer Associate Dean at Bastyr University, she is also a veteran leader in integrative health and medicine and naturopathic health policy. Her passion is the philosophy of Naturopathic medicine, its critical value to a healthier world, and to our understanding the nature of health, illness and healing. Dr. Snider is in her twenty fourth year on the Bastyr University faculty teaching naturopathic medicine history, clinical theory, and global context.  In 1986-1989, she and Dr. Jared Zeff, ND, LAc co-led the naturopathic profession in developing a unifying definition of naturopathic medicine and its principles of practice, adopted by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP). This Definition and its Principles has been supported in 42 countries by their Naturopathic societies according to the World Naturopathic Federation (2015 WNF Survey).

Dr. Snider, following his landmark “Process of Healing” Theory published in 1997 in the Journal of Naturopathic Medicine (1997), partnered with Dr. Zeff in 1998, proposing expanding the Hierarchy of Therapeutics to seven levels, and renaming it the Therapeutic Order. She and Dr. Zeff have collaborated since then in publishing, teaching, and advancing the philosophy of naturopathic medicine and Process of Healing Theory, further developing the Naturopathic Therapeutic Order and in co-founding and co-leading the Foundations of Naturopathic Medicine Institute and Project.  Dr. Snider has received a number of awards including AANP’s President’s Award, Bastyr University’s President’s Outstanding Vision Award, AANP's Physician of the Year Award, Ontario’s Physician of the Year Award, an Honorary Doctorate in Naturopathic Philosophy from CCNM, and in 2015 AANP's William A. Mitchell Vis Award (AANP) and in 2016 the NMSA - The Gathering Beacon Award. Dr. Snider lives on her homestead in beautiful North Bend, Washington with her soul mate and husband Dr. Bruce Milliman, their four children, the One People Foundation and “The Revival.”
