Students grow in their experience and knowledge through the curriculum’s combination of lecture, laboratory and clinical courses. Admission to the professional/clinical phase is based on selective admission requirements. Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to pursue dual entry-level credentials in respiratory care and cardiovascular technology as well as state licensing in respiratory care.
