Airway Training. Reinvented
Welcome to The Protected Airway Collaborative
The Protected Airway Collaborative is where real airway mastery is built, not through one-off courses or endless scrolling, but through an innovative, high-impact ecosystem that blends digital learning, hands-on practice, and community-driven engagement in ways that actually stick. PAC breaks the cycle of passive content consumption by giving clinicians everywhere accessible, evidence-informed training that fits into real workflows and daily practice, empowering teams to sharpen critical airway skills again and again, wherever care happens. This is airway education redesigned for performance under pressure, grounded in deliberate practice and sustained by a global community committed to excellence.
The Problem:
Today we’re drowning in content and starving for durable skills.
Practical airway skills you can use require layered, integrated, learning.
What if you could stop scrolling and start practicing?
Better yet, what if you could do both at the same time, without ever leaving the break room?
Airway training has been stuck in an outdated model. You pay for a costly course, absorb a weekend of information, then step back into clinical life with no real way to sustain or sharpen what you learned.
The result? Skill decay, guesswork, and a late-night diet of sketchy social-media “education” when what you actually need are durable skills for real patients.
The Reality:
When an airway is failing, “more content” won’t save you. Neither will skills you practiced once last year. Mastery will. And mastery only emerges through deliberate, repeated, hands-on practice—supported by the right tools, structure, and guidance.
The Solution:
Low-cost.
Consistent.
High-quality airway skills training.
Without the time and cost of traveling to a one-off airway course
That’s what PAC delivers.
We create hybrid, immersive experiences designed to fit real clinical work, not idealized training days. Built by an education design team focused on performance under pressure, not passive consumption. These practice spaces seamlessly integrate digital and physical space.
This isn’t more content.
This is practice that sticks
We’re a Community, Not a Personality
You deserve a system built by clinicians for how clinicians actually learn. The Protected Airway Collaborative replaces current models with a living community working within an open and integrated ecosystem. We bring teams together to blend immersive simulation, expert visual design, and on-demand digital guidance into a continuous learning environment that follows you from the breakroom to the bedside. This is airway training that doesn’t end when the course ends. It goes home with you. It shows up at your institution. It becomes part of how you practice. Together.

Who We Are
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.
