Respiratory Care
The Respiratory Care program consists of a planned sequence of courses designed to prepare students for careers as Registered Respiratory therapists (RRTs) in diverse settings such as hospitals, home care, outpatient, and critical care.

Instruction emphasizes specialized content and skills including ventilation, patient assessment and treatment, cardiopulmonary pathology and pharmacology, and pediatric and neonatal respiratory care.
