National Registry of Microbiologists (NRM)
Founded in 1958, the NRM has certified microbiologists in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico and on six continents.
The NRM certifies professional microbiologists at the baccalaureate (Registered Microbiologist, [RM]NRM); master's, doctoral, and baccalaureate (Specialist Microbiologist, [SM]NRM); and prebaccalaureate/baccalaureate (Conditional Registrant) levels.
The goals of the NRM are to:
- Minimize risk to the public by identifying qualified microbiologists.
- Encourage mastery of microbiological knowledge and skills that contribute to improving the human condition.
- Foster professional pride and a sense of accomplishment in qualified microbiologists.
