My CPM Credential Status

The Certified Professional Midwife is a credential that is earned by midwives that certifies entry-level midwifery skills and knowledge by a private organization called the North American Registry of Midwives. They certify CPM’s in all 50 states. The states in turn may use the N.A.R.M. Exam to grant a license to someone who has passed their exam. Each state is different, some license, and some do not. The CPM CERTIFICATE IS NOT A LICENSE.

Revoked Certificate

In January 2024 the NARM revoked my credential. Not because I did any harm to anyone but because they demanded that I hire a full-time Midwife to shadow my practice. Something that was not practical or affordable. I continue to work as a licensed Midwife in a state that does not license Midwives by following another states’ practice guidelines because NARM does not have any. I wrote this in the hopes that the information will clear up some concerns that some folks have had.

More information to follow as it becomes available. Should you have any questions, please reach out to me anytime @ 860-882-9869

Blessings,

Carolyn Greenfield, Midwife
