Program Overview

The Respiratory Care program is designed to prepare students to become licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners in the state of California.

They are employed in a variety of health care settings, including hospitals, physician's offices, home health agencies, specialized care hospitals, medical equipment supply companies, diagnostic laboratories, and patients' homes. They may further specialize in such areas as adult critical care, neonatal or pediatric intensive care, pulmonary function testing, transport medicine, hyperbaric  medicine, home care, management or education.
