North American Registry of Midwives (NARM)

05/12/2026

NARM’s Accountability Program is seeking an additional 8-10 members for its Accountability Reviewer Pool.

This group of CPMs will join our existing 14 Peer Reviewers as essential members of the Accountability team. Peer Reviewers participate in groups of three along with the Accountability Case Coordinator and Administrator as members of an Accountability Review Committee (ARC) for the purpose of reviewing cases and determining violations of midwifery standards outlined in the accountability review policy, and imposing constructive measures and, when necessary, sanctions that ensure continuous professional improvement, promote the repair of harm, ensure the integrity of the credential and maintain public safety.

Applications close on May 15th.
