State License Completion and Award of Certification

The CPM credential is awarded only after NARM has determined that the candidate has satisfied all requirements of this pathway.

This includes:

• verification of a current credential accepted by NARM;
• completion and acceptance of required out-of-hospital birth and clinical experience documentation;
• successful completion of the NARM Exam or acceptance of a previously completed NARM Exam under applicable policy;
• current adult CPR and advanced neonatal resuscitation certification;
• submission and acceptance of all required forms and supporting documentation;
• resolution of any outstanding application deficiencies, audit requests, or verification requirements; and
• payment of all applicable fees.

After all requirements have been reviewed and accepted, NARM will issue the CPM credential and notify the candidate of the effective date of certification. Candidates may not use the CPM designation or represent themselves as NARM-certified until NARM has formally awarded the credential.

Award of the CPM credential does not constitute licensure or legal authorization to practice in another jurisdiction. Certificants are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable where they practice
