The ATMMTP is a state approved eight-part comprehensive midwifery education program that prepares the midwifery student for Texas licensure and the NARM CPM credential. Curriculum is based on the Midwives Alliance of North America standards for practice and "Core Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice", and incorporates NARM educational requirements. These requirements are met through a variety of methods, including flexible but structured home and internet based coursework, required reading, research, and community projects. Each of the 8 parts, or modules, ends with classroom time in the form of mandatory workshops where review, application, integration, and examination occur. The program's expected completion period is approximately 34 months, including the required clinical component. For more information on the program or enrollment please visit the education section of the Association of Texas Midwives website.
