FEATURED LEARNING SPACES
the surgical airway
In this space we shatter the myth that making the cut is the hardest part of an emergency surgical airway. The Fearless FONA Mindset focuses on cultivating all the skills required to successfully perform a surgical airway in the real world.
tube introducers
Tube introducers are game changers: in this space we follow the evidence & learn that they’re not just for difficult airways, but are evolving to meet the challenges of today’s technology. Journey with us to master these devices.
Hyperangulated Blade
Hyperangulated devices offer many advantages, but also present new challenges for those who use them. If you’ve ever wanted the full low down on best practice for HAVL then this is the learning space for you.
Nasopharyngoscopy
We’re excited to bring this latest learning space online! Naso-pharyngscopy is an essential airway skill and we bring you all the tips and tricks you need for performing this procedure well with our newest faculty expert Dr Lauren Brown.
Fiberoptic skills
Learn the essential skills of fiberoptic intubation with fiberoptic expert Dr Ralph Slepian. What are the indications for FOI, how should it be performed safely, and what is its role does it have in the age of the video laryngoscope? We answer all these questions here.
massive airway contamination
Spend time with master educator, innovator, and creator of the SALAD technique Dr Jim DuCanto. This set of concepts, skills, and techniques for managing massive airway contamination is a game changer for anyone who wants to feel confident taking care of this common difficult airway scenario.
Transition to Residency
Intern year is a critical transition point in your training. You need practical skills that will help you at the bedside with a rapidly evolving airway emergency when the initial management is on you. This space is designed to help you get there.
THE ORIGINAL SIX
Each of our original six learning spaces are theme based so that all the concepts and skills of emergency airway care can be organized into a more effective cognitive construct that will serve you well in the future as your skills and experience grow. Together they cover all of the fundamentals of emergency airway care into one immersive experience. Within these spaces you will learn skills and test them, hear powerful stories from experienced clinicians and patients, and explore narratives that will help you understand the role human factors play in our successes and our failures as clinicians. At the heart of each of these installations are stories that highlight why what we do matters – and why how we learn matters even more.

INTERACTIVE LEARNING that lives IN BOTH THE DIGITAL & PHYSICAL SPACE
For online learning anytime, simply enter any of the learning spaces in their masterclass format here by clicking on a poster. Use them as a stand alone online course in this masterclass style, or as flipped classroom to maximize your training program before coming to any or our integrated in person events.
MAP YOUR OWN JOURNEY
Learning spaces are self-directed. Map your journey through each masterclass and focus on the content that matters to you. Then use the same masterclass space as a supercharged flipped classroom for our immersive in person installations. Access the same content before, during and after in person events.
INTERACTIVE LEARNING that lives IN BOTH THE DIGITAL & PHYSICAL SPACE
For in person learners, snap the QR codes embedded into the physical version of the same interactive posters to access the identical learning space. Then look for the ✋ emoji for integrated hands-on self-practice and coaching opportunities, and the 💪 to indicate an available integrated SIM challenge. Before, during, or after any event the learning space’s digital content is always available to you.
