A lot of programs seem to have minimal airway training and fellows say they will graduate without proficiency. To me an intensivist who can't manage airways and intubate is like a pulmonologist who can't bronch so I'm very surprised to find this is accepted and seems to be ok by ACGME rules.
So, I'm wondering what people think about if this is indeed something that should heavily influence fellowship choice. Obviously if you are sold on a research career you won't need it but say you miss out on grants - does not having this training basically make you trapped in academics and unable to take any community position?
