Respiratory Care, A.S. Degree Program Design The Respiratory Care associate degree program provides training in respiratory care, a health care specialty that concentrates on the areas of prevention, treatment, management and rehabilitation of people with lung disorders. Respiratory therapists are involved in a variety of life-saving situations, working side-by-side with nurses, doctors and other health care providers and treating patients ranging in age from the newborn to the elderly. Using sophisticated equipment, therapists help people with such diseases as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema. Respiratory therapists are regarded as experts on the respiratory and cardiac systems and are often called upon for advice and help in deciding which course of care to prescribe. Scholastic Preparation and Admission Process The Respiratory Care Program relies on a selective admission process, which uses specific admissions criteria. These criteria are available through the admissions office and the health careers office. The admission criteria require that the students are eligible for the equivalent of MCC’s MAT* 109, ENG* 101 and BIO* 211. Interested candidates will be expected to have a history of academic success, with the completion of a lab science course. Admission to the Respiratory Care Program requires a separate application. Applications are accepted on an on-going basis during the year prior to the September of the year in which the student hopes to be accepted. Applications will be accepted until the class fills. Prospective students are encouraged to apply early. Complete information on specific criteria for acceptance and the admission process is available from the Admissions Office by calling 860-512-3210 or from the Mathematics, Science and Health Careers Division Office at 860-512-2703. A tour of one of the hospital affiliates is strongly recommended. Students will need to demonstrate the skills necessary to become a Respiratory Therapist; technical standards for the program are available upon request. Students who do not meet the program entrance requirements should select appropriate courses from the Pre-Allied Health Program, an access program that provides courses and guidance to prepare the student for a career in the health field. (See page 27.) Accreditation The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) upon recommendation of the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC). For information write to: Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care, 1248 Harwood Road, Bedford, Texas 76021-4244 or phone (817) 283-2835. Curriculum ‡ The program begins each September and continues through two years, including the summer semester. Classes with an RSP* designation and clinical experience are offered during the day. Beginning with the second semester of the program, students will train at the hospitals every week in conjunction with classes held at the College. Beginning with the second year, the clinical component requires full-time study. Hospital affiliates include Baystate Medical Center, Hartford Hospital, St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center, Manchester Memorial Hospital, New Britain General Hospital and the Hospital for Special Care. All hospital training is supervised by trained clinical instructors. Due to standards set by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), students are advised that the health care facilities Division of Mathematics, Science & Health Careers: 860-512-2703 or www.mcc.commnet.edu
