The Respiratory Care Technology pathway is designed to prepare individuals to become respiratory therapists. Individuals work as members of a team of health-care professionals, work to evaluate, treat, and manage patients of all ages with respiratory, cardiac, and other systemic illnesses. These individuals are responsible for airway management and the setup and monitoring of life support systems. They provide treatment for heart and lung disorders by administering treatments, oxygen, drugs, and other therapeutic modalities.
Provided below is a prior year version of this pathway. While we suggest you utilize the current year version, we have guidelines on how you can use the prior year version for this semester, and then switch to the current year next semester.
