Respiratory Therapy is an allied health discipline devoted to the scientific application of technology in order to assist in the diagnosis, treatment, management and care of patients with respiratory and associated disorders. Respiratory Therapists are important members of modern hospital medical teams.
Applicants should have a sound secondary school background in science and an interest in helping and caring for people. Students interested in pursuing a career in Respiratory Therapy must arrange a visit to a large hospital that has an active Respiratory Therapy Department. The Program Coordinator can assist applicants in arranging such a visit.
