Welcome! As you may know, NARM will release an updated Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) written test in 2019. They have also updated their Candidate Information Booklet (CIB) this year. This can be a little confusing and create extra work for those that were working off the previous 2014 CIB. I'm working through the old and new version to help breakdown what has changed. The reference book list has changed. There are 18 reference books listed in the 2018 CIB vs. 24 books in the 2014 CIB. Below is a comparison of the CIB 2014 pg. 53 vs CIB 2018 pg. 48.
