The Board of Trustees at Sonoran University of Health Sciences (Sonoran) announces the national search for President. Since its founding in 1992, Sonoran University has blended new ways of learning and teaching with timeless principles of naturopathic and conventional medicine and healthcare. Today the University, situated on 8.5-acres in Tempe, Arizona, offers multiple accredited degree programs through the College of Naturopathic Medicine, the College of Nutrition, and the newly launched School of Mental Health. Additionally, Sonoran offers a variety of other services that extend opportunities for student learning, cutting-edge research, and provide free healthcare delivery and access in under-resourced communities.

The next president will be a strategic, experienced, and visionary leader who will embrace the opportunity to elevate the University to its next level of accomplishment and build on efforts to further the institution’s professions (naturopathic medicine, nutrition, and clinical mental health counseling), strengthen the success of students and alumni in service of the broader community, and enhance the long-term financial health of the institution. The new president is expected to begin in July 2025.

Sonoran University of Health Sciences is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Sonoran University’s Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program is accredited by the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME).
