Midwifery Licensure

In most states that license naturopathic physicians to provide intrapartum care, practitioners must have graduated from a maternity care specialty program that is offered within a CNME-accredited naturopathic medicine program. In addition, they are required to pass the American College of Naturopathic Obstetricians (ACNO) exam.

In states using the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) exam, our graduates are eligible to be licensed or registered as midwives or as a certified professional midwife (CPM).
