SOAP Fundamentals Virtual Event
September 14 & 21, 2024SOAP Fundamentals logo

Thank you for attending SOAP Fundamentals, now in its second year, is an educational program designed for anesthesia providers without formal training in obstetric anesthesia. Our virtual meeting drew over 60 registrants and featured high quality sessions and expert faculty. We are grateful to our presenters and planning committee for their work.

Research has identified several barriers these providers face, including difficulty obtaining resources from centers of obstetric anesthesia excellence, the need for ongoing mentorship, and limited access to expertise. SOAP Fundamentals aims to enhance the knowledge of these healthcare teams, supporting SOAP's mission to advance and advocate for the health of pregnant women and their babies. This innovative virtual hybrid meeting will feature high-quality sessions on common topics in obstetric anesthesia delivered by expert faculty.

Recorded content and conference materials are available on-demand in the SOAP Learning Center for all registrants.
