Applicants for licensure must submit a completed application, licensing fees, and documentation acceptable to the Board. License requirements include: 1) Certification as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) with the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM); 2) Documentation of successful completion of board approved MEAC accredited courses in pharmacology, the treatment of shock/IV therapy, and suturing specific to midwives.
