Respiratory Therapy (AAS)
Respiratory therapy is a dynamic and vital healthcare profession focused on caring for patients with breathing and cardiopulmonary disorders. From newborns taking their first breath to seniors managing chronic conditions, respiratory therapists (RTs) are experts in assessing, treating, and educating patients to improve their quality of life. If you're passionate about science, technology, and making a difference, respiratory therapy is a career that lets you do it all. Completion of the Respiratory Program at Snow College qualifies students to sit for the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) credentialing exams.
