The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education mandates PCCM fellows' competency in this procedure; however, the learning experiences vary across programs. After conducting a needs assessment, we developed a curriculum unique to our institution to supplement our fellows' existing EI experiences in the operating room and the intensive care unit.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To assess the curriculum's short-term objectives: knowledge acquisition, maintenance, and practical skills 1 year after participation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We administered a survey to the graduating PCCM fellows for two consecutive years. We designed the comprehensive airway curriculum to include didactic lectures and simulation-based education. The knowledge acquisition and maintenance were measured by administering a 26-question knowledge survey before and after curriculum participation and after 1 year. The fellows also received a practical examination 1 year after participation. To compare knowledge survey scores, we used paired <i>t</i> tests and permutation tests.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In the needs assessment, 56% of graduating fellows believed they were proficient in performing EI, whereas 33% were undecided and 11% believed they were unprepared. Most believed they would need more than two courses after graduation to be confident in independently performing EIs. Most will only occasionally have backup for EI from anesthesiology or emergency medicine in their future jobs. One identified barrier to learning EI was the lack of a formal curriculum. In the knowledge assessment, nine first-year fellows participated in the curriculum. The cohort's mean presurvey score was 13.0 (standard deviation [SD], 4.5) versus 18.6 (SD, 3.6) mean postsurvey score. One year after participation, the mean survey score was 17 (SD, 1.2). The postsurvey and 1-year postparticipation survey scores were significantly higher than the presurvey scores (<i>P</i> < 0.05). One year after participation, the practical examination showed most fellows retained skills in EI using ramped position, video and direct laryngoscopy, bag-mask ventilation, and oropharyngeal airway placement.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The airway curriculum enhances fellows' knowledge acquisition and maintenance 1 year after participation. The practical examination 1 year after participation highlighted the skills retained and those still needing improvement.</p>","PeriodicalId":72330,"journal":{"name":"ATS scholar","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11448942/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142382600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
