专业概况

在这里学什么？

Respiratory therapists work with patients who experience asthma, cystic fibrosis, emphysema and trauma. Therapists provide life support for premature infants, give medical gases and aerosol medications, assure airway and bronchopulmonary hygiene, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and are responsible for life-support systems. Therapists also assess patients and perform diagnostic procedures that include measuring cardiopulmonary volumes, pressures, electrocardiograms and arterial blood gases.

Curriculum

Students in this program are part of a small cohort of students that take courses together and receive individualized attention from faculty.

The professional course work begins in the junior year and consists of five consecutive terms of enrollment, which includes one summer term, comprised of over 60 credit hours in respiratory therapy and professional supporting courses.

The program also affords students opportunities to select clinical specialties such as neonatal and pediatric care, rehabilitation and continuing care, education, administration, noninvasive cardiac diagnostic testing, hyperbaric oxygen, sleep disorders, and pulmonary function laboratories.

Possible careers

Almost 100 percent of respiratory therapy graduates earn their Certified Respiratory Therapist credential, and over 90 percent earn their Registered Respiratory Therapist credential or equivalent speciality credential in pulmonary function technology, polysomnography or neonatal pediatrics.

Respiratory therapy has a projected job growth at almost twice the national average, including over 4,000 job openings annually.

Many recent graduates find jobs at major medical centers, in community hospitals and in children’s hospitals. Others work for home care providers, medical specialists, lung associations, colleges and universities, pharmaceutical companies, respiratory equipment manufacturers, and suppliers.
