About Us


SafePartum was founded in 2021 by practicing Obstetric Anesthesiologists who are passionate about maternal and neonatal health, and have over thirty years of clinical experience managing and consulting in the care of medically complex, high-risk obstetric patients.

SafePartum Academy, SafePartum's dedicated educational platform, was created to support all healthcare providers who interface with and care for pregnant patients. Our team of clinician-educators represent the fields of OB Anesthesia, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Critical Care, Addiction Medicine, and many other subspecialties. We provide interprofessional high-risk consulting services and digital bedside clinical support for the entire team of L&D professionals.


Created by physicians, SafePartum Academy is the premier educational platform for maternal and perinatal healthcare workers.

Turn to SafePartum Academy when you are ready to level up your skills and knowledge in obstetrics, labor and delivery, anesthesia and analgesia, and high-risk pregnancy.

The physician experts at SafePartum Academy have created a variety of Signature Courses, live conferences, skills workshops, and webinars that you can browse below!

What Our Students Say About Our Signature Courses

Carolyn R.

OB Anesthesia Accelerator is a course that incorporates the whole patient, including obstetrical considerations, not just the technique of neuraxial anesthesia. Well worth your time to take this course.                                        

Audra D.

OB Anesthesia Accelerator provides a great breakdown of OB Anesthesia care throughout the course of labor and delivery and postpartum. The course utilizes evidence based practice lectures and interactive workbooks to encourage engaged learning.

I was looking for a course that would provide me with a lot of practical and useful information that would help improve my day to day practice. This course certainly provided that.

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.
