Verdict
Naturopathic doctors face a moderate to high risk of AI substitution due to the technical aspects of their work, such as herbal formulation and nutritional counseling. However, the interpersonal skills required for patient care and the nuanced understanding of individual health concerns are areas where AI may struggle to fully replace human practitioners.
