I'm not aware of any. We have extensive simulation sessions with the residents and fellows, including a weekend training session before the fellows start which it's heavy on simulation. The medical students do a 2 week anesthesia rotation where we focus on IV placement, bag mask ventilation, and other airway management skills.
I was thinking about approaching them about an emergency airway management workshop for 2nd years. The faculty I wanted to pursue it with bailed out. Maybe it's time to revisit the concept.
