Madison Arnold

As I near completion of my studies at CCNM-Boucher, I am eager to begin full-time practice in a collaborative clinical setting that prioritizes patient-centered care and innovation. I am committed to lifelong learning and will be pursuing advanced training in regenerative injection therapies, including PRP, prolotherapy and ultrasound sonography immediately after graduation to better serve my future patients. My long-term goals extend beyond clinical practice; I aspire to teach, mentor, and empower the next generation of naturopathic doctors. With a deep passion for public speaking and advocacy and an extensive background as a researcher, I aim to create a platform that amplifies the voices of women in medicine and scientific research. Through community outreach, speaking engagements, and mentorship, I hope to foster confidence and leadership among aspiring female practitioners. Clinically, I am particularly focused on sports rehabilitation, longevity medicine, and women’s health- especially supporting adolescent female athletes as they navigate their health journeys. My ultimate clinical vision is to help people of all ages stay active and fulfilled, whether that means chasing their kids at the park, running with their grandkids, or reaching personal fitness goals.
