Cancer care is complex, and many patients want to work with a practitioner who understands both conventional treatment and supportive care options.
Dr. Rick Bhim, ND brings a unique perspective through his training in both conventional medicine and naturopathic medicine. During his medical and clinical training, he worked alongside oncologists and multidisciplinary healthcare teams in hospital settings, gaining firsthand experience caring for individuals affected by cancer.
Following graduation from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Bhim completed two naturopathic residency programs, including serving as the inaugural Resident at the CCNM Integrative Cancer Centre. He continues to teach and supervise student clinicians at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and serves on the Board of Directors of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians.
