This course is topic driven yet anchored to historical issues for the Respiratory Therapist practising in the Canadian Health Care System. In a rapidly changing health care future, the expectation of a "job for life" for the graduate is uncertain. The skills required for survival of today's graduate include negotiation of role, liaison with community agencies and an emerging need for multiskilling.
The course will be seminar based utilizing small group interaction when discussing issues. Assessment of students progress will be assignment oriented.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of the third semester of the Respiratory Therapy program
