Today we’re joined by Suzie Newell, DNP, CRNA, FAANA once again, but this time we will focus on an area of anesthesia that has become outdated: obstetrics. Behind her passion for this area of anesthesia, Suzie helped create the Society for Obstetric Nurse Anesthesia and Research (SONAR) to fill a void for people that had practical solutions to problems she was seeing in the field. Find out how this organization came to be, what it hopes to accomplish, and how you can get involved.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

Why she felt so many places were outdated and out of touch in this area.
How this organization was formed in 2020 and who all is involved in leadership roles.
What are the long term goals for SONAR?
The lofty goals for their first project that Suzie is spearheading.
How others who have a passion for obstetrics can get involved.
