What Our Students Say About SafePartum Academy
OB Shock Attendee, 2024
The agenda was clearly communicated ahead of time, well-organized lectures in terms of thematic grouping and time allotment. There was a good mix of different types of sessions, such as panels, talks, and networking events. There were enough built-in breaks for networking. The registration process was very efficient.
OBAA Student, 2025
I LOVED Dr. M's teaching style, clear, concise, but yet hit all the details exactly on the head.
OBAA Student, 2025
The OBAA course is very clear and gives specific information that hits all the skills and considerations for OB anesthesia. I love that I have continued access to the course to reference as needed. Dr. M's availability as well to reach out to for specific questions is invaluable.
OB Beyond the Basics Student, 2025
SafePartum course instructors are very approachable, thoughtful in responses, and dedicated to improving maternal care.
