Fellowship Directory
Welcome to the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) fellowship directory. This listing of obstetric anesthesia fellowship opportunities in the United States, and Canada was created to assist individuals interested in pursuing advanced training in obstetric anesthesiology. The list was created and verified in 2009 as a project of the SOAP Resident Affairs Committee.
Thank you and good luck in your fellowship applications!
