The Respiratory Care Technology program offers an extensive educational experience, combining classroom lectures with hands-on practical training over a 3-year period, followed by a 1-year clinical internship. This comprehensive approach is designed to provide students with the fundamental knowledge, technical skills, and positive attitude necessary to thrive in the dynamic field of respiratory care. Through a blend of theoretical and practical instruction, students are prepared to handle various respiratory conditions and provide critical support to patients in diverse medical environments.

During the course, students acquire a robust understanding of human anatomy and physiology, essential for comprehending the respiratory system’s function and disorders. They also study biochemistry, microbiology, and pathology to grasp how diseases and infections affect the respiratory system. This knowledge is crucial for diagnosing and treating conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and respiratory infections. The program includes specialized training in respiratory care technology, equipping students with the skills needed to operate advanced equipment such as ventilators, oxygen therapy devices, and nebulizers.

In addition to technical training, students receive instruction on medicines relevant to respiratory care, ensuring they can effectively administer treatments and manage medication regimens. Emphasis is placed on patient care, teaching students to provide compassionate support and communicate effectively with patients and healthcare teams. The program also covers emergency response techniques, preparing students to handle critical situations such as respiratory distress and cardiac emergencies. By the end of their training, graduates will be well-prepared to work in various settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient clinics, making a significant impact on patient care and respiratory health.
