Respiratory Care

Seattle Central College ETPL
After 90 credits, students will receive an Associate of Applied Science (AAS-T) in Allied Health and will then continue working toward a BAS, which requires an additional 90 credits. In addition to classroom and laboratory instruction, students get real-life clinical experience at local health care facilities. Respiratory Care Practitioners work with other health care professionals to treat patients with cardiopulmonary disorders. This may include the use of medical gases, medications, aerosols, lung drainage, ventilatory support, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, airway management, respiratory disease management and diagnostic testing. The track meets Respiratory Care Practitioner licensure requirements of Washington state, and is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care. Upon completion of the BAS program, students will be prepared to take the Advanced Practitioner Exam given by the National Board for Respiratory Care.
