Series Overview

Multidisciplinary airway conference consists of a prepared didactic on an airway topic followed by presentation of 1-3 complex cases with commentary by the team involved and discussion by experts in otolaryngology, anesthesiology, thoracic surgery, pulmonology, critical care, and other disciplines. Cases are selected for high educational value and interdisciplinary applicable content. The conference serves as a venue to interdisciplinary understanding, improve collaboration and identify areas to improve patient care.

Global Objectives

As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will:

• Enhance their knowledge and skills related to providing care to patients with surgical and other airway disorders that are appropriate to their training level and role on the collaborative care team.
• Discuss improvements in patient care in this arena through collaboration with the interprofessional team, preparation, consideration of “best practice”, systems improvements and supportive evaluation of “near misses”.
• Plan values-informed research opportunities in this arena whether in quality improvement, clinical research or basic science.
