"What I have learned about midwifery
through this program is that midwifery is
always evolving. There is a hunger for
knowledge that is empowering." ~an NMI

Program Goals
National Midwifery Institute graduates are

• Qualify for the National Credential Certified
Professional Midwife Examination through

(“NARM”), and state midwifery licensure
where provided.

• Provide equitable, sensitive, culturally-

competent primary care to clients, families
and babies.

• Practice in accordance with the Midwives

Model of Care, upholding the professional
standards of the CPM credential.

• Apply critical thinking, theoretical knowledge,

and informed decision making to make
collaborative clinical decisions with clients
about their health care.
 • Establish or join a midwifery practice within
the community where they completed their
apprenticeship and have become an integral
