Residency and Mentorship
Dr. Masa is deeply committed to teaching and inspiring the next generation of Naturopathic Physicians.
He has long been doing year-long, AANMC-accredited residency programs through Bastyr University. Dr Masa is ready to take another new resident for 2026-2027. Then transition first year resident into junior associate model.
Because naturopathic doctors do not receive external funding support, residency supervisors often carry the financial burden personally—making it difficult to sustain long-term training programs. Dr Masa is hoping to get enough funding to allow this residency program to host by our non profit group. Please go to our non-profit group, Integrative Medicine Group to support this residency program.
Most successful clinics require two years of residency to recover initial losses; in this program, associates start with a fixed rate (Year 1: $50–80K, Year 2: $60–100K), and once they generate revenue above $100K, contributions return to the supervisor's clinic.
If systemic support through federal funding or donors becomes available, the Residency Program can be sustained and expanded through the non-profit Integrative Medicine Group. Generous donations are welcome to help nurture and grow this vision.
Expectations
Dr. Masa's expectations for residents include:
1. Communicate well
2. Be on-time
3. Be professioinal
