Benefits of Attending SLAM

At SLAM: Street Level Airway Management we wrote the book!  


SLAM provides training in emergency and difficult airway management 

from the “Street Level” to all locations with in the hospital.  


 

Street Level Airway Management (SLAM) offers basic through advanced airway management training that is useful wherever emergency or difficult airway situations occur.  The system is based on the SLAM Emergency & Difficult Airway Flowchart, the SLAM Textbook and the SLAM Concept.

    TESTIMONIAL FROM SLAM ATTENDEE

     Wanted to say again how very impressed I was by your course.  It was excellent in scope, organization, content, and practicality.  I've taught and practiced emergency airway management for many years (as an emergency medicine specialist),  - am delighted with what this course has added to my personal depth of knowledge.  Would (and actually already have) highly recommend your course to anyone at any level who's  practice includes emergency airway management (don't we all know - no matter how good one is at airway management, there are always going to be those few unexpectedly difficult airways - a wise practitioner will want to have as many back-up techniques and skills as possible!).

    Thank-you, again.
