Description

Prerequisite: Acceptance into the Respiratory Therapy Program.
Course that is strictly clinical observation to the various departments within the hospital that Respiratory Therapists may come into contact with during their professional career. Each student will observe; two Respiratory Therapy Departments, Radiology Department, Cath Lab Department, PFT Lab, Hyper Baric Department, Adult ICU, and Surgery. This course is designed to help further students classroom knowledge base and bridge the clinical setting with the classroom. By bridging the two together, it is my goal to help demonstrate basic therapies and modalities that are used daily in the Respiratory Therapy profession.
