This degree prepares students to assume responsible positions as part of the health care team and focuses on the use of objective scientific data as well as theory to train students to solve complex problems in the clinical setting. Students receive specialized training in the areas of diagnosis, treatment, management, and preventative care for patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. Respiratory Care students participate in various classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences. The laboratory experience provides the opportunity for hands-on experience in preparation for clinical practice in diverse clinical settings. A minimum grade of C must be earned in all courses. Upon completion of the program, the student will be eligible to sit for the National Registry Examination administered by the National Board of Respiratory Care (NBRC). The Frederick Community College Respiratory Care Program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care in cooperation with the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation.
