NaProTechnology Medical Consultant (NFPMC)

By RRM Academy Reviewed by Dr. Naomi Whittaker, MD, Board-Certified OBGYN, MIGS, NFPMC, FCI Updated May 14, 2026

A NaProTechnology Medical Consultant (NFPMC) is a physician who has completed formal postgraduate training in NaProTechnology through an accredited program. Training routes include the fellowship at the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction and the AAFCP Medical Consultant program. The credential is distinct from standard OBGYN or reproductive endocrinology training. It requires coursework in Creighton Model chart interpretation, NaPro diagnostic protocols, and NaPro surgical approaches.¹

The NFPMC is distinct from a FertilityCare Practitioner (FCP). The FCP teaches cycle observation and builds the chart. The NFPMC receives that chart, runs the diagnostic workup, orders cycle-timed hormone panels, interprets results, prescribes, and performs surgical intervention when indicated. The physician and the practitioner function as a team. Neither replaces the other.

The chart is the primary clinical data set in NaProTechnology care. An NFPMC working without Creighton chart data is working without the diagnostic foundation the system requires. Patients frequently search for a "NaPro doctor," "NaPro OBGYN," or "NaPro surgeon." All of these describe the NFPMC role.

The NFPMC role bridges FertilityCare practice and full restorative reproductive medicine evaluation. For couples seeking a full diagnostic workup grounded in cycle data, the NFPMC is the physician who carries that workup forward.
