Apply to join NARM’s Accountability Program Peer Reviewer Pool for 2025-2026. This group of CPMs will join the Accountability Case Coordinator and Administrator in building a quality assurance framework for CPMs within the new policy structure. Reviewers will be assigned to an Accountability Review Committee for the purpose of reviewing cases, determining violations of midwifery standards outlined in the accountability policy, and imposing corrective actions or sanctions when indicated.
The Accountability Review Committee meetings are held the second Thursday of every month from 4pm-6pm ET. These meetings build skills, provide practice case reviews, and are facilitated by NARM staff. Reviewers are expected to commit to attending these meetings.
