Theoretical-Practical Course EAMS Teach the Airway Teacher (TAT)

Course Director: G. Cortese (Italy)

Airway management is one of the core competencies in anaesthesiology, critical care, and emergency medicine. Airway management skills cannot be taught just through books or lectures. Airway managers mostly teach technical and non-technical skills in the busy clinical environment of a hospital, often without a formal teaching program. EAMS, unique in between airway societies, created the Teach the Airway Teacher course (TAT course) aiming at these experienced teaching clinicians to foster airway training on a modern didactic background. The EAMS TAT course follows modern didactic principles. The flipped classroom concept includes a pre-course e-learning section, providing time for preparation and acquisition of theoretical knowledge. On site learning will happen due to practice, discussion, rehearsal, and collegial exchange in small groups and plenary discussions.

To achieve the EAMS Airway Teacher certificate, the participants have to full fill a post-course assignement in order to transfer the learning baggage into their teaching practice and foster long term effect of the course. Residents and paramedics might be accepted depending on their engagement to airway management (please provide CV to the course director).
