The program is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (formerly known as the Joint Review Committee for Respiratory Therapy Education). Graduates are also eligible for both certification and registration administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care. There are many employment opportunities in the field of Respiratory care. The profession has grown quickly since its inception in the late 1940’s and demand for Respiratory Care practitioners continues. In addition to the hospital, many respiratory care practitioners now work in home care programs, nursing homes, or doctors’ offices.
