High-Acuity Skills. No Margin for Error.
CME is available. Space is limited by design.
Each year, clinicians come to us for one reason: to rehearse the procedures they may encounter only once or twice in a career, yet must execute flawlessly when they do. Tracheoinnominate fistula. Massive hemoptysis. Severe airway contamination. The failed airway deteriorating into a can’t-intubate, can’t-oxygenate crisis. These are defining moments. They demand preparation.
Airway Works NYC | Chelsea, Manhattan
With the launch of our new Airway Works NYC studio, we’ve built an environment worthy of that standard. This is not a lecture course. It is a focused, high-intensity training experience built around deliberate practice, tight feedback loops, and individualized coaching. The HALO Procedure Course is a full day devoted entirely to the most high-stakes interventions in airway management, giving you the repetition, technical refinement, and cognitive clarity required to perform when it truly counts.
And because the environment matters, we’ve built a course day you’ll actually enjoy — engaging conversation, great food, strong local coffee, and the creative energy of our Chelsea studio.
Step Into the HALO Lab With Our Experts
Join a faculty of nationally recognized airway experts and simulation leaders for a one-of-a-kind HALO pop-up event in the heart of New York City in our amazing new training studio. Spend a full day in a purpose‑built, immersive environment dialing in the skills and mental models that matter most when physiology is failing and time is tight.
You’ll spend the day shoulder-to-shoulder with airway experts as you work through:
- Massive hemoptysis — maintain oxygenation when the chest is filling with blood
- Massive airway contamination & SALAD —the choreography of suction + laryngoscopy
- Tracheostomy emergencies — rapid assessment, decisive action, and guided repetition
- FONA — performed with confidence, clarity, and expert coaching at your side
Who Its For
- Clinicians of all backgrounds and levels of experience who want to perform at their best during high-stakes, critical airway moments.
What to Expect
- Intensive hands-on training in the highest-acuity, lowest-frequency procedures
- Expert coaching and individualized feedback from master educators
- Interactive drills and scenario reps that hard-wire clean, repeatable technique
- Open Q&A sessions with leaders in airway, critical care, and emergency simulation
- A collaborative, high-energy learning environment designed to elevate your practice

Jonathan St George, MD – Emergency Medicine
Founder & Executive Director
Jonathan St. George, MD, is the founder of The Protected Airway Collaborative and an emergency physician dedicated to transforming how clinicians learn airway management. His career spans urban academic centers, rural hospitals, disaster response, and international medicine, experiences that shape his vision for innovative, practice-driven education. Through PAC, he combines immersive simulation, digital platforms, and creative design to create learning spaces where clinicians at every level can refine skills, stay inspired, and deliver safer care. His mission is to turn the complex into the engaging, and the critical into the unforgettable—improving patient outcomes worldwide.
Jim DuCanto MD – Anesthesiology
Creator & Director the SALAD Learning Space
Dr. Jim DuCanto is a tireless educator and innovator. He has collaborated worldwide with Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, Critical Care, and Prehospital and Retrieval Medical educators. Through his collaborations with colleagues in these diverse specialties, he has produced innovations related to Prehospital, Emergency Medicine and Critical Care airway management with the invention of a specialized rigid suction catheter (the “SSCOR DuCanto Suction Catheter”) as well as techniques to manage the massively soiled airway (the “SALAD” Technique), and a simulator to demonstrate and practice the SALAD technique (the Nasco Life/form® S.A.L.A.D. Simulator).
Oscar Mitchell MD – PCCM
Bronchoscopy & HALO Procedures Faculty Lead
Oscar is a Pulmonary and Critical Care attending at Penn Medicine and the Center for Resuscitation Science in Philadelphia. He is passionate about improving patient care during cardiac arrest and in the peri-arrest period. He is currently exploring the best ways to deliver education on high-acuity, low-occurrence (HALO) procedures and immersing himself in in-situ simulation in the MICU. His educational conference, REVIVE, focuses on resuscitation, cardiac arrest, and post-arrest care.
Richard Levitan MD – MD
Cric & HALO Procedures Faculty Lead
Richard Levitan is an emergency physician and airway innovator whose career spans urban trauma centers and rural critical access hospitals. A member of the first Emergency Medicine residency class at Bellevue Hospital, he spent 25 years practicing in high-volume academic centers in New York City and Philadelphia before transitioning to rural practice in 2012. He now balances clinical work with national teaching, speaking, and device development.
