NAMS

NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner (legacy)

NAMS-CMP is the pre-2023 name for what's now called MSCP. Still a valid, meaningful credential — just branded under the previous name of The Menopause Society.

WHAT THIS CREDENTIAL ACTUALLY MEANS

ISSUER
The Menopause Society (formerly NAMS)

NAMS Certified Menopause Practitioner (NAMS-CMP) is the pre-2023 name for the credential now called MSCP. Both refer to the same underlying certification issued by The Menopause Society — formerly the North American Menopause Society (NAMS).

We list NAMS separately on this directory because some clinicians still use the old label on their bios, marketing materials, and listings on other sites. If you see “NAMS-CMP” on a provider page here, it means our scraper caught the legacy label as it appears on the society’s public roster. Either name is a valid credential.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Does NAMS certification still count? +

Yes. NAMS rebranded to The Menopause Society in 2023, and the NAMS-CMP credential became MSCP. Clinicians certified before the rebrand still appear on the society's practitioner roster under the new name as they recertify.

Should I prefer a provider with MSCP over NAMS? +

For practical purposes the two are equivalent — it's the same certification under two names. Some providers list both because they were certified under the old name and haven't updated their public bio.
