Where Airway Mastery Is Built. Now at Penn.
One day. Expert faculty. Real reps. A cross-specialty airway course built on deliberate practice, not passive lectures.
An additional 25 seats are reserved for students and are not registered here.
Airway training built on practice, not just theory.
PAC @ Penn brings the Protected Airway Collaborative's "Learn. Practice. Perform." model to Penn: a one-day, cross-specialty airway symposium built on deliberate practice, not passive lectures. Presented with Penn's PSOM Anatomy Lab and the Penn Center for Resuscitation Science, the course pairs QR-linked poster stations with hands-on task-trainer time and one-on-one coaching from expert faculty, so every concept taught is immediately practiced.
*An additional 25 seats are reserved for students and registered separately.
Three pillars of the PAC method
Poster Stations
QR-linked infographic posters turn every station into a self-contained teaching tool: the bridge between concept and hands-on skill.
Expert-Led Coaching
One-on-one feedback from faculty who do this for a living: real-time correction, not a lecture slide.
Cadaveric Training
Hands-on exposure to real anatomy, offering a learning experience that no mannequin can rival.
Two ways to train at PAC @ Penn
The AM Course
The morning covers the core physiology and technique behind every intubation: pre-oxygenation, RSI/DSI, post-intubation management, the hemodynamically difficult airway (pulmonary hypertension, hemorrhage, severe hypoxemia), and airway anatomy.
Self-directed immersive didactics lead straight into hands-on learning spaces, where learners rotate through stations covering the essentials of airway management, each staffed by expert faculty for individualized coaching and immediate feedback.
- ●Video Laryngoscopy
- ●Pre-oxygenation Techniques
- ●Direct Laryngoscopy Optimization
- ●Bougie Use
- ●FONA (Front-of-Neck Access)
The Whole Day Course
The full day course builds on the morning with an afternoon devoted to advanced and high-acuity airway management: the contaminated airway, the physiologically difficult airway, and front-of-neck access (FONA).
Afternoon spaces will include SALAD (suction-assisted laryngoscopy and airway decontamination), a full simulation room, and cadaveric training, providing valuable hands-on exposure to surgical airway and advanced rescue technique under direct expert supervision.
- ●RSI Pharmacology
- ●SALAD (suction-assisted laryngoscopy & airway decontamination)
- ●Full Simulation Room
- ●Cadaveric Training
