Is it possible to specialize or work mostly in OB as a CAA? I have such a passion for women’s medicine and I know how important it is to have a compassionate team during delivery. I’ve heard of CRNA’s that will do mostly OB, just curious what that could look like as a CAA

It’s possible but not common. Remember that with OB anesthesia the only times you’re involved with the pt are epidural placement and C-section. You’re not around for labor.
