A Career in Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory care is a professionally and personally rewarding career with a balanced blend of technology and patient interaction.

就业 for respiratory therapists is expected to grow by 23 percent through 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth in the middle-aged and elderly population will lead to greater demand for respiratory therapy services and
treatments, mostly in hospitals and nursing homes.
