Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology Virtual Fall Forum 2023 SOAP As President of the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP), I have the privilege of leading a dynamic and action-oriented global community of over 2,000 physicians and health care professionals. Much of the work of our society is accomplished through our committees and their aligned subcommittees and task forces.
More than 20% of SOAP members are engaged through these committees with the ongoing work of the society to advance and advocate for the health of pregnant women and their babies through research, education, and best practices in obstetric anesthesia care. At SOAP, we connect all our efforts to the core pillars of Experience, Community, and Infrastructure to ensure that we are consistently meeting the needs of our members.
