Advanced Diploma in Respiratory Therapy

Program Overview

Humber's Respiratory Therapy advanced diploma program prepares students to assess, implement and evaluate evidence-informed and person-centered cardio-respiratory care to all patient populations. Through a dynamic blend of classroom instruction, simulation-based training and extensive clinical placements, learners build strong foundations in health and life sciences, clinical judgment and hands-on technical skills.


Students will obtain competency in a wide range of skills including airway management, mechanical ventilation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, oxygen and aerosol therapy, pulmonary and cardiac diagnostics, pulmonary rehabilitation methods, provision of patient education, and interprofessional collaboration.


The program is fully aligned with the National Competency Framework for Respiratory Therapy and prepares graduates to meet the standards of practice required by the College of Respiratory Therapists of Ontario (CRTO) and other provincial regulators.


Work-Integrated Learning  

Timing & intensity: Work-integrated learning occurs in upper semesters and involves full-time rotations across partner hospitals/clinical sites. Rotations involve days, evenings, nights, weekends, and statutory holidays to reflect 24/7 care. 


Clinical Placement Locations and Student Responsibility
While every effort is made to place students in their preferred clinical location, placement opportunities are dependent on-site availability and program needs. As a result, students may be assigned to placements outside of their preferred region, including locations across Ontario. Students are responsible for any costs associated with travel, temporary relocation, or accommodation required to complete their placement. We recommend planning ahead and maintaining flexibility throughout the placement process. 


WIL Clearance requirements 
Before beginning placements, students must meet Humber Polytechnic’s Faculty of Health & Life Sciences and clinical partners’ standard health, safety, and legal clearance requirements (e.g., immunizations, mask-fit, CPR/First Aid, police checks). Details and deadlines will be provided after admission, and students are encouraged to review the Faculty of Health & Life Sciences Student Handbook for foundational WIL concepts and program-specific requirements.
