    AbstractEmergency airway management requires the simultaneous coordination of clinical reasoning and therapeutic interventions in the complex and time-sensitive setting of emergency resuscitation. The cognitive demand associated with these situations is invariably high and must be taken into consideration when designing training programs for this core professional competency. The four-component instructional design model (4C/ID), based on cognitive load theory, was used to develop a 1-year longitudinal airway management curriculum for Emergency Medicine residents. The simulation-based curriculum was designed with the goal of facilitating the construction and automation of schemas by individual residents in preparation for the high cognitive demand associated with emergency airway management in the clinical environment.© 2023.
