Respiratory therapy schools list
- 1. Respiratory therapist schools According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, respiratory therapy is a rapidly growing field. As the country’s population ages, demand for respiratory therapists is estimated to grow by 19% in the next ten years. Respiratory therapists are trained to work with patients suffering from breathing and cardiopulmonary problems due to issues like asthma, emphysema, stroke or heart attack. Respiratory therapists work side by side with doctors to diagnose and treat these issues. Responsibilities may include taking medical histories, instructing patients on how to use inhalers and other breathing equipment, monitoring patient progress and performing tests to determine the correct diagnosis for patients. Schools for respiratory therapy adequately prepare students to perform these duties and more. Respiratory therapy schools offer many different programs to fit the needs of students. A 2-year associate’s degree is required for an entry-level position in the field. A bachelor’s or master’s degree will give students advanced training that can lead to more career options. Respiratory therapy schools must be accredited by a national committee for allied health or respiratory care. You can read more about the subject of schools for respiratory therapy at the link given above, including online respiratory therapy schools, of which there are now a growing number of options in this field. Below is a list of schools that offer programs for respiratory therapists, sorted by state (data believed correct at time of publication). Some states have a choice from twenty or more schools so candidates are spoilt for choice. Unfortunately, if you are in Wyoming you will have to go to another state to study respiratory therapy – there isn’t a single school offering this program in that state.
