Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) are midwives who specialize, by education and experience, in out-of-hospital pregnancy care, labor and birth in private homes and in freestanding birth centers. . CPMs are credentialed by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) to provide pregnancy care for healthy people experiencing low-risk pregnancies. The CPM credential, issued by NARM, is nationally accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), which is the accrediting arm of the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). NCCA is the accrediting body of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE), (formerly known as the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA) whose mission is to promote excellence in competency assurance for practitioners in all occupations and professions. NCAA(ICE) accredits more than 200 professional credentials such as nurse-midwives, nurse anaesthetists, nurse practitioners, and critical care nurses.
