As a MEAC-accredited school, Midwives College of Utah’s curriculum is based upon knowledge and proficiency in MEAC’s Curriculum Checklist of Essential Competencies, which include the internationally recognized core competencies and guiding principles set forth by the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) in addition to requirements for national certification by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM). MEAC’s accreditation criteria for midwifery education programs reflect the unique components and philosophy of the Midwives Model of Care™.

The North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) has developed a process to verify practical skills and assess knowledge through a comprehensive exam. NARM nationally certifies midwives who qualify with the credential of the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM).

By completing the Bachelor of Science in Midwifery (BSM) program through MCU, students will be eligible to apply for CPM certification and take the NARM written exam.
