NSU’s Respiratory Therapy Program Receives Accreditation Award

The Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (COARC) has recognized the First Professional Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Therapy (BSRT) program as the recipient of the Distinguished RRT Credentialing Success Award. This award is designated to programs that have at or above 90% RRT credentialing success. Graduates must pass a minimum of two sets of board exams to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist. Success on the first board exams designates the graduate as a Certified Respiratory Therapist.  COARC views the RRT credential as a measure of a program’s success in inspiring its graduates to achieve their highest educational and professional aspirations. NSU’s Department of Cardiopulmonary Sciences will receive the Award at the American Association Respiratory Care Summer Forum in July. The Department of Cardiopulmonary Sciences is honored to receive this Award.
