SOPPA
Standardized, university-recognized post-doctoral fellowships empowering MD/DNB anaesthesiologists with specialized subspecialty mastery, verified e-logbooks, hands-on simulation, and the prestigious Fellow of SOPPA (FSOPPA) credential.
Choose from our standardized 1-year clinical fellowship programs or 6-month modular clinical certificates. Each program provides protected clinical training, academic faculty mentorship, and institutional placement.
Focuses on advanced pre-operative assessment clinics, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), perioperative echocardiography, frailty scoring, and post-op transitional surgical care.
Mastery in ultrasound-guided nerve blocks (PENG, ESP, Quadratus Lumborum, PECS), continuous catheter infusions, cadaveric needle simulation, and multimodal opioid-sparing analgesia.
Comprehensive training in hemodynamic ultrasound (FATE), lung ultrasound (BLUE), invasive monitoring (PiCCO, arterial lines), ECMO principles, and surgical septic shock resuscitation.
Designed for busy practicing consultants and departmental directors who cannot commit to full-time residency. Combines virtual learning modules, clinical case portfolios, and two weekend simulation workstations.
Ensure you register for the option that matches your career objectives — whether lifelong professional society membership or full accredited post-doctoral fellowship credentialing.
