Experience An Entirely New Way to Learn

The Protected Airway is built differently from traditional medical education experiences. Every aspect of the environment is meticulously designed to support deliberate practice, hands-on learning, and durable skill development before, during, and after the event.

Here are answers to some commonly asked questions. Once you experience a PAC Learning Space in person, the system and philosophy behind it become immediately clear.

How do PAC Learning Spaces Work?

How PAC Learning Spaces Work

PAC events are different from traditional airway courses.

Instead of sitting in lectures all day, participants move through immersive, interactive PAC Learning Spaces focused on specific airway topics like oxygenation, hyperangulated video laryngoscopy, SALAD, physiologically difficult airway management, and Fearless FONA.

Each Learning Space combines:

  • Hands-on deliberate practice
  • Large visual teaching installations
  • QR-connected digital resources
  • Guided procedural walkthroughs
  • Self-directed skill stations
  • Real-time coaching from PAC faculty

The goal is not passive learning. The goal is repetition, understanding, and durable skill development.

To get the most out of the experience, participants should bring:

  • A mobile phone or tablet
  • Headphones or earbuds

These are used throughout the event to access integrated PAC digital learning resources, guided audio walkthroughs, procedural videos, and QR-linked educational content embedded directly into the physical learning spaces.

Is the experience self-directed or faculty-led?

Is the experience self-directed or faculty-led?

Both, intentionally.

PAC Learning Spaces are designed as self-directed, immersive training environments where participants can practice skills at their own pace in a low-pressure, judgment-free setting. Instead of being rushed through stations on a fixed timer, participants are encouraged to slow down, repeat procedures, revisit concepts, and spend more time where they personally need it most.

This format creates something that is surprisingly rare in traditional medical education: meaningful time for deliberate practice.

Participants are not standing waiting for a single attempt while large groups rotate through crowded stations. There is no pressure to “keep up” with the room. The goal is not performance in front of an audience. The goal is skill development through repetition, exploration, and feedback.

Because the Learning Spaces are continuously available throughout the session, participants get far more hands-on reps than they would during a traditional workshop format.

PAC faculty are in the studio providing individualized coaching, procedural guidance, troubleshooting, and customized feedback based on each learner’s needs and experience level. This creates a very different educational dynamic compared to large-group lectures or tightly scripted stations where one instructor speaks to many learners simultaneously.

In many ways, participants actually get more meaningful faculty interaction in this model because conversations happen organically during practice, exactly when questions and challenges arise in real time.

Some learners may spend extra time refining a technical skill. Others may focus on cognitive frameworks, airway strategy, or troubleshooting difficult scenarios. The environment is intentionally flexible, allowing learners to build confidence and competence through repetition rather than simply “completing” stations.

The result is a training experience designed around how people actually develop procedural expertise: deliberate practice, immediate feedback, repetition, and psychological safety.

Who is this training designed for?

Who is this training designed for?

PAC is designed for clinicians involved in airway management across all experience levels, including:

  • EMS providers
  • Residents and fellows
  • Attending physicians
  • CRNAs
  • Physician assistants
  • Critical care clinicians

Some participants are learning foundational concepts. Others are refining advanced techniques and mental models. The Learning Spaces are designed to support both.

Do I need prior airway experience?

No. Many Learning Spaces are designed to help learners build strong foundational concepts and procedural understanding. More experienced clinicians often use the spaces to refine technique, improve consistency, and pressure-test decision-making.

What Does Your Registration Include?

What Does My Registration Include?

Your registration includes:

  • Access to the live PAC training experience on your selected event day
  • Full access to all PAC Learning Spaces during your visit
  • Access to PAC faculty coaching and guided practice
  • A complimentary premium subscription to The Protected Airway website for the included trial period
  • Continued access to all PAC digital learning resources before, during, and after the event

The PAC website is designed to work together with the live experience. Reviewing the material before your visit and revisiting it afterward significantly improves retention and hands-on performance.

Why does my purchase include a subscription to the website?

How Does the Subscription Work?

Your event registration includes complimentary premium access to The Protected Airway website because PAC is designed as a fully integrated digital and physical learning environment.

Full website access is required for the Learning Spaces to function as intended, allowing participants to engage with QR-linked educational content, guided walkthroughs, procedural videos, and interactive learning resources throughout the experience.

Throughout the event, participants actively use the PAC platform to access:

  • QR-linked learning resources embedded throughout the studio
  • Guided audio walkthroughs
  • Procedural videos
  • Interactive educational content
  • Visual references and cognitive frameworks connected to each Learning Space

This is why we ask participants to bring a mobile device and headphones.

The digital platform is not an “extra add-on.” It is an essential part of how PAC Learning Spaces function and how participants move through the experience.

We also encourage participants to explore the material before arriving and revisit it afterward to reinforce procedural skills and key concepts over time.

Your registration includes premium access for the introductory trial period associated with your ticket. After the trial period ends, the membership continues at the standard annual subscription rate unless canceled. There is no obligation to continue, and you may cancel at any time through your account settings.

What happens after you register?

What happens after I register?

After registration, you will receive:

  • Event confirmation details
  • Instructions for selecting your event date/time if applicable
  • Access to the PAC digital platform
  • Guidance on how to prepare for your visit

We recommend reviewing the digital content before arriving so you can get the most out of the in-person experience.

How long will you have access to the online content?

How Long Do I Have Access?

Your event ticket is for a specific event day and time slot, but your website access continues throughout your included trial period.

The digital platform is meant to support:

  • Preparation before the event
  • Active learning during the event
  • Ongoing deliberate practice after the event

Many participants continue using the platform long after the live experience because the PAC system is designed as an ongoing training ecosystem, not a one-time course.

Can I come with colleagues or a group?

Can I come with colleagues or a group?

Yes. PAC works very well for teams and departments. Group and institutional options may be available depending on scheduling and capacity.

No lectures. No crowded conference rooms. No expensive multi-day courses.

Move through the studio at your own pace. Spend an hour mastering a single skill or exploring every station. Come on your own or bring a colleague. With small groups and no time pressure, you gain meaningful access to expert faculty and the kind of focused practice traditional courses rarely provide.

A Different Model for Airway Education

Most airway courses follow a familiar structure. You sit in a lecture hall, watch presentations, rotate through a few skill stations, and try to absorb as much as possible in a packed schedule.

Airway Works NYC was designed to be the opposite.

Instead of compressing learning into a rigid course format, we created a training studio where you can walk in, explore, and practice the skills that matter most to you. The space is organized into immersive learning stations, each focused on a critical airway concept or procedure. Pick up the device. Run the reps. Refine your movements. Then talk it through with expert faculty circulating through the room.

You control the pace. Spend ten minutes on a skill or an hour if you want to dig deeper.

There are no lecture blocks and no forced rotations. You move through the space the way people move through a museum or studio, following your curiosity and your clinical needs.

Each station combines multiple layers of learning:

• museum-style infographic posters that explain the concept
• hands-on airway equipment and purpose-built trainers
• short digital modules accessed by QR code
• real-time coaching from expert faculty

This approach allows you to do something traditional courses rarely provide: deliberate practice. Instead of watching someone perform a technique once, you can repeat the movement, troubleshoot problems, and refine your technique until it feels natural.

The result is a learning environment that is focused, flexible, and deeply practical.

Airway Works NYC is not just a course.

It is a working studio for airway training.
