MSCP — Menopause Society Certified Practitioner
The MSCP is the current name for what used to be called NAMS-CMP. Issued by The Menopause Society, it's the only clinician credential explicitly dedicated to menopause care in the US.
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.
