Upon successful completion of this program, the graduate will be eligible to sit for both the entry-level certification, written and clinical simulation registry examinations of the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC). Successful completion of the entry-level and advance practitioner examinations will entitle the graduate to use the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) and Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credentials, respectively. In addition to the credentials, a license to practice is required by most states, including Ohio.
The program director is Associate Professor Kathleen Compton. Her office number is (740) 264-5591 x1671.
Upon completion of the Respiratory Therapy Program, the graduate will be able to:
1. Demonstrate the ability to comprehend, apply, and evaluate clinical information relevant to the role as registered respiratory therapy practitioner.
2. Demonstrate technical proficiency in all skills necessary to fulfill the role as a registered respiratory therapy practitioner.
