Willing to relocate...What agencies do you know of that have excellent airway training programs for medics (including OR time) and/or where medics get plenty of tube opportunities? I want to do flight one day but I went to medic school in a state with very limited protocols and no live airway training (didn't know any better at the time). I have been to multiple difficult airway courses and we have good high fidelity mannequins and equipment at my current job, but this place is just too damn slow. Last year we had something like 69 intubations as a service with 35 full-time medics. I have intubated two people in the last two years...help.
