Dr. David Scotten, ND, Scholarship for Excellence in Naturopathic Medicine
Dr. David A. Scotten, ND has distinguished himself as a visionary and cornerstone in naturopathic medical education in Canada. As the inaugural Dean of Academic Education at the Â̲èÖ±²¥ - Boucher Campus (formerly the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine) in Metro Vancouver, Dr. Scotten not only spearheaded the design and implementation of a comprehensive four-year naturopathic medical curriculum but also played an instrumental role in the institute achieving full accreditation by the Council of Naturopathic Education in 2004.
As we honour Dr. Scotten's retirement, we celebrate a luminary whose dedication shaped naturopathic medical education in Canada. The scholarship is a tribute to this achievement, and will award one enthusiastic third-year student whose leadership has positively impacted the Â̲èÖ±²¥ community. We invite the community to join us in continuing his legacy of furthering naturopathic education.

Homeopathic Medicine
To honour the memory of Dr. Kenn Luby, ND, who passed away in August 2020, the Dr. Kenn Luby, ND Memorial Scholarship for Excellence in Homeopathic Medicine was established in November 2020 by his husband David Klausner.
A graduate of Â̲èÖ±²¥, Dr Luby, ND taught immunology at Â̲èÖ±²¥ and was the first ND to be invited to speak at the International AIDS conference. He dedicated his career to caring for people with HIV/AIDS, through naturopathic medicine with a primary focus on homeopathic medicine.
