LEARN PRACTICE PERFORM
Your next difficult airway will not care how much content you watched.
It will reveal what you have practiced.
The Protected Airway Collaborative is a continuous airway readiness system for clinicians, educators, and teams who understand that airway emergencies rarely unfold under ideal conditions.
When the airway becomes difficult and oxygen levels begin to fall, PAC helps bridge the gap between knowing what to do and being able to do it under pressure.
Through digital learning, immersive hands-on practice, expert coaching, and thoughtfully designed learning environments, PAC helps you build durable skills that hold up when airway knowledge must become decisive action.
Stop Drowning In Airway Content. Start Building Durable Skills.
Digital resources deliver information, but don’t build performance. Courses create momentum, but are expensive and episodic. Without practice, skills fade.
The solution isn’t more content or more expensive courses. It’s a system that delivers resources designed for ongoing practice. One that makes developing lifelong airway skills affordable and accessible. The Protected Airway Collaborative is built to close that gap, turning learning into something you actually use, repeatedly, over time. A community you can return to. PAC is a training solution built for durable skills, not algorithms. It delivers high-quality airway training designed by experts and created for how clinicians actually learn.
“More than a course. A training system built for practice.“

The Website
This is where your training begins.
The PAC platform gives you immediate access to a cost-effective, structured airway learning system designed for continuous skill development, not one-time exposure.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Focused learning modules built around high-stakes airway scenarios
- A compendium that aligns thinking, communication, and decision-making
- Ongoing airway updates that keep your practice current
- Practical tools and frameworks you can apply on your next shift
- Key knowledge checks to confirm your learning and comprehension
- Online community, networking, and mentorship
This is not a content library.
You cannot build durable airway skills by passively moving through online courses, videos, or social media clips. PAC uses the website as an entryway into a different kind of learning—one focused on cognitive tools, deliberate practice, and continuous development rather than content consumption.
The goal is not to collect more airway information. The goal is to build a foundation you can return to throughout your career, where knowledge becomes practice, practice becomes confidence, and confidence endures when the airway becomes difficult.
You don’t just learn once and move on.
You revisit, reinforce, and refine.
This is where airway training becomes continuous.
This is where your airway readiness system begins.
Integrated Hands-On Training
Airway Works NYC + Events
This is where your training deepens.
The website gives you the foundation. Live training gives you the coached reps, feedback, and pressure that durable airway skills require.
At Airway Works NYC and PAC events around the world, you step into immersive training environments built around the same system you use online. You arrive prepared, practice with intention, and refine your execution with expert faculty.
This is not a disconnected course.
It is the next layer of PAC: online preparation, hands-on practice, and live refinement working together to help your airway skills hold up when it matters most.
Bring PAC to Your Team
The platform that is built for educators
PACscapes turn any space into a training space.
PAC is a comprehensive airway readiness system built for educators, departments, and institutions that need to deliver high-quality airway training consistently—without rebuilding the curriculum every time.
By combining digital learning, immersive hands-on practice, expert-designed PACscapes, and faculty support, PAC helps you train interns, residents, fellows, EMS clinicians, APPs, and multidisciplinary teams more efficiently, effectively, and consistently.
But PAC is more than a training platform. It is a community of world-class airway educators who become an extension of your team. Through PAC, you gain access to experienced clinicians, proven educational frameworks, ongoing mentorship, and a collaborative network dedicated to advancing airway education and improving patient care.
Reduce costs. Minimize travel. Ease faculty workload. Eliminate the need to constantly reinvent training programs.
With PAC, airway education becomes easier to deliver, easier to sustain, and easier to scale—making high-quality learning accessible anytime, anywhere.
Less cost. Less travel. Less staffing pressure. Less reinvention.
A better way to build durable airway skills, wherever your learners are.
You’re not waiting for the next course.
You’re building skills where you already work.
It’s like having a personal airway team available whenever you need it, guiding both what to learn and how to practice.
This is how training becomes accessible.
This is how practice becomes continuous.
We’re a Community, Not a Specialty
At PAC, we believe airway mastery should not happen in isolation. We are stronger together. Each specialty and every clinical environment brings fresh insights and perspectives to our practice.
Most clinicians perform high-stakes airway procedures only occasionally. That means improvement rarely comes from individual experience alone. It comes from learning alongside others who care about the craft, share techniques, and continually refine their approach to the airway.
The Protected Airway Collaborative brings those people together.
PAC is a global community of clinicians who take airway management seriously. Emergency physicians, intensivists, anesthesiologists, paramedics, and trainees from around the world come together to study the airway, practice the techniques, and share the lessons learned from real patients.
When you join PAC, you enter a learning environment designed for clinicians who want more than occasional training. Inside the platform, you can explore our immersive learning spaces, study airway concepts in depth, and connect them directly to hands-on practice in your own department.
You gain access to structured training grounded in deliberate practice, along with tools and resources to create pop-up learning spaces wherever you work. The same environments used in our studio and live courses become available to you and your team.
Just as important, you become part of a community of airway enthusiasts who are committed to mastering the craft. Clinicians who believe airway management deserves focused practice, thoughtful discussion, and constant refinement.
If that sounds like you, you belong here.

Who We Are
The Protected Airway Collaborative is empowered by extraordinary people. They bring it to life. Our faculty isn’t just a few local instructors. We bring together leading clinicians, educators, and guest experts from around the world. A diverse and dynamic team enriches each learning space.. They are chosen not only for their clinical skill but also for their ability to teach and inspire, and they come from across disciplines.
We’re a passionate community of educators, clinicians, and innovators. We are united by one mission: to make airway education better, smarter, and more impactful. PAC was built on one simple truth: Airway knowledge means nothing if you can’t apply it in the moments that matter most.
The Protected Airway Collaborative exists to change how clinicians learn the most critical skills in medicine. Traditional airway education ends the moment a course does, leaving clinicians without the tools, structure, or support needed to maintain competence over time. We solve that problem by building a continuous learning ecosystem.
“A single lesson can inspire you. A learning ecosystem can transform you.”
We believe airway mastery isn’t an event. It’s a habit. A practice. A design challenge.
Our mission is to deliver durable, real-world skills through thoughtful educational engineering, grounded in human factors and built for the realities of modern clinical practice. By turning passive content into active, repeatable training opportunities, we empower clinicians to perform with confidence and clarity when the stakes are highest.
This is airway training, reimagined for the way people actually learn.
