Welcome
Welcome to the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) – the premiere subspecialty organization for Obstetric Anesthesia in North America as we celebrate our 50th anniversary! Engage with SOAP to accomplish our mission of advancing the pregnancy-related health and outcomes of pregnant women and their newborn. Join our welcoming and highly interactive community of physician anesthesiologists, obstetricians, maternal fetal medicine specialists, neonatologists, other health care providers and basic scientists. Together, we accomplish our mission to promote: 1) high quality obstetric anesthesiology research, 2) education to members and non-members including other providers of peripartum care as well as pregnant women and 3) promotion of excellence in clinical anesthetic care in the peripartum period.
The SOAP Endowment Fund
The primary purpose of the SOAP Endowment Fund (formerly OAPEF) is to create funding for educational endeavors in obstetric anesthesia.
