The goal of our program is to prepare graduates with demonstrated competence in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (behavior) learning domains of respiratory care practice as performed by registered respiratory therapists (RRTs). Additionally, we strive to develop excellent communication and critical thinking skills as well as instill and model the role of a member of the Respiratory Care Profession.

The program will allow current seniors enrolled in the WC respiratory care program to take courses that will be applied towards a Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care (BSRC) degree.
