The American College of Nurse - Midwives and the North American Registry of Midwives recommend that midwives should at minimum meet the standards of
midwifery established by the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), which include completion of a formal
midwifery education program, national
certification, and licensure in the local jurisdiction of practice.32, 33 Certified professional midwives (CPMs) may achieve
certification through apprenticeship and portfolio evaluation without obtaining a formal
midwifery degree; within CPM professional
organizations efforts are under way to uniformly adopt ICM standards.33, 34 Oregon has followed this trend; in 2015 licensure became mandatory for attendants at out - of - hospital births.
