Podcast
I recently had the pleasure of joining Scott Weingart on the EMCrit FOAM Feed to discuss airway management and the challenge of preparing clinicians to perform at their best when the stakes are highest.
Scott has been one of the most influential voices in emergency and critical care education for years. Through EMCrit and the broader FOAMed movement, he has consistently pushed the field to think more clearly about resuscitation, procedure performance, and how we train clinicians to handle the most dangerous moments in medicine. It was a real privilege to sit down with him and talk airways.
In the episode, we explored some of the latest updates in 2025, some uncomfortable truths about airway education, why many clinicians remain underprepared for high-acuity, low-occurrence procedures, and what it means to build durable skills that hold up when the room gets loud and everyone is looking at you.
We also discuss the philosophy behind the Protected Airway Collaborative and why we believe airway education needs to move beyond current models towards more accessible, integrated, deliberate practice and immersive training environments.
If airway management is part of your practice, I think you’ll enjoy the conversation.
