They assume primary responsibility for all respiratory care modalities, including the <br />supervision of respiratory therapy technicians. Respiratory Therapists initiate and conduct therapeutic procedures; maintain patient records; and select, assemble, check, <br />and operate equipment. They also may serve as asthma educators, patient educators, case managers, Hyperbaric Oxygen Specialists, Extra Corporeal Membrane <br />Oxygenation Specialists and Sleep Specialists. Respiratory Therapists work in hospitals, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, home care, and diagnostic labs. <br />The Respiratory Care Practitioner (RCP) deals with patients of all ages who may be gravely injured or ill. The RCP is among the first on the medical team called to <br />provide treatment in cardiopulmonary emergencies. The RCP also cares for patients in all aspects of their treatment and recovery. The RCP must be sensitive to the <br />needs of those who have serious physical, mental, or psychological impairments. The RCP must also be able to cope with emergencies and work well as a member of <br />the healthcare team. <br />Program Mission <br />The purpose of the Respiratory Therapy program is to prepare graduates with demonstrated competence in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and <br />affective (behavior) learning domains of respiratory care practice as performed by Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs). Graduates will earn an Associate of <br />Science degree.

Registration and <br />certification requirements for taking and passing these examinations are not controlled by Concorde, but by outside agencies, and are subject to change by the <br />agency without notice. Therefore, Concorde cannot guarantee that graduates will be eligible to take these exams, at all or at any specific time, regardless of their <br />eligibility status upon enrollment. <br />Program Objectives <br />• To provide a learning environment that correlates well with the actual workplace and a clinical experience that correlates with classroom instruction. <br />• To instill in the student a sense of professional behavior, attitude, and dress consistent with medical standards. <br />• To provide the student with entry-level knowledge and skills in the field of respiratory care. <br />• To prepare students for advanced -level competency as Registered Respiratory Therapists. <br />• To supply competent Respiratory Therapists to the national work pool. <br />Skills Proficiency <br />Students must be able to perform certain procedures and skills to work as Respiratory Care Practitioners. These are learned in the school's clinical laboratory and at <br />hospital clinical sites under the direct supervision and evaluation of a preceptor. All students must participate.
