This , we’re reminded how essential trees are because they help provide the oxygen we all rely on every day. 🌱 Just like trees, respiratory therapists play a vital role in helping people breathe easier and live healthier lives. And the world needs more of both! Through our MoreRTs movement, we’re proud to share stories from RTs and patients that highlight the life-changing care RTs provide. 🩺

The goal of CRCE through the Journal is to facilitate the respiratory therapist’s understanding of the study’s research question, design, main results, and the implications on patient care. After you register for the course, simply read the first five articles in Respiratory Care and take the course post-test.
