A Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) is an independent practitioner who has met the standards for certification set by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) and is qualified to provide the Midwives Model of Care. The NARM certification process recognizes multiple routes of entry into midwifery. The process includes verification of knowledge and skills as well as the successful completion of the NARM written examination.

In partnership with their clients they carefully monitor the progress of the pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum period.
