Respiratory therapists are highly skilled healthcare professionals who use critical thinking to care for patients experiencing breathing difficulties related to respiratory, cardiovascular, and other medical conditions. They work with patients across the lifespan—from premature newborns to older adults—and enjoy diverse career opportunities in areas such as education, management, clinical practice, and medical sales.

The Respiratory Care Program offers comprehensive, multi-competent training and more than 700 hours of clinical experience, giving you the knowledge, hands-on skills, and professional foundation needed to launch your career in respiratory therapy. In our state-of-the-art respiratory lab, you will gain practical experience with high-fidelity simulation, mechanical ventilation, and patient assessment using current equipment and evidence-based practices.

Graduates of the Rhodes State Respiratory Program are employed in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, cardiovascular technology departments, rehabilitation facilities, air and ground transport teams, pulmonary diagnostic labs, skilled nursing facilities, and sleep study centers.

Professional Credential and Licensure Information

Credentialing:

Certified Respiratory Therapists (CRTs)
Once a student has completed either a two-year associate’s degree or a four-year bachelor’s degree, they are eligible to take the national Therapist Multiple Choice exam.
Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs)
Once respiratory therapists have successfully passed the Therapist Multiple Choice exam, they are eligible to take the national Clinical Simulation exam. Upon passing the Clinical Simulation exam, the therapist is awarded the RRT credential.
Starting with the 2027 NBRC Credentialling Examination, graduates will only be required to take the new Therapist Multiple Choice Exam and the Clinical Simulation Exam will no longer be required to be granted the RRT Credential. Students will take the one examination and depending on their score, they will either be granted the CRT or RRT credential.
For more information about the credentialing process: https://www.nbrc.org/

Licensure:

All states (except Alaska) require licensure for respiratory therapists practicing in the United States. For more information on each state’s requirements: https://www.aarc.org/advocacy/state-society-resources/state-licensure-information/
Note: **Respiratory Care Professionals in Ohio are required to have the RRT credential as a minimum requirement for state licensure.
