Experience it here, so you’re ready out there.
This is a full day of hands-on airway training and procedures. In the morning, small groups work one-on-one with expert faculty to build foundational and advanced skills. Later, all 10–12 stations open for self-directed practice, giving you the chance to work with varied anatomy and receive personalized coaching from every faculty member.
In the afternoon, the stations transform into skills challenges covering cardiac arrest, airway decontamination, airway obstruction, surgical airway, chest tube, massive hemoptysis and more. Additional stations focus on advanced procedures, allowing you to fine-tune your technique and tailor your practice to your specific learning needs.

Cadaveric Dissections
In addition to hands-on practice with cadaveric specimens, our lab includes a unique collection of educational dissections designed to deepen your understanding of airway anatomy. These expertly prepared dissections give you a rare, three-dimensional perspective on the spatial relationships and airway geometry that directly impact your ability to perform intubation successfully.
Trace the curves of the airway, explore critical landmarks from multiple angles, and see firsthand how anatomy influences technique. This is more than an anatomy lesson — it’s a dynamic opportunity to connect what you feel, see, and do during airway management. By visually and physically mapping the airway’s complex pathways, you’ll gain insights that translate directly into better laryngoscopy, improved tube placement, and a more intuitive understanding of airway challenges.
Nothing replaces the clarity and depth of learning that comes from real anatomic dissection. This experience builds not just knowledge, but spatial awareness, confidence, and a mental model you can carry into every airway you manage.
Expert Faculty Instruction
We draw our anatomy faculty from across the full spectrum of airway education, bringing together experts from diverse backgrounds and specialties to create the most comprehensive training environment possible. Emergency medicine, anesthesiology, critical care, prehospital care, and other disciplines are represented — all working together to deliver the best of the best. This multidisciplinary approach ensures you gain insights, techniques, and perspectives from every corner of airway management, giving you a richer, more well-rounded learning experience.
“As real as it gets — until it’s the real thing.”
This is a premium airway education experience — whether you’re just getting started or ready to take your skills to the next level. The anatomy lab at PAC gives you the hands-on practice and expert feedback you need to elevate your airway game. Spots are limited!
