The Respiratory Care Technology Program at
Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College is designed to
meet the growing needs of the healthcare industry focusing on
Respiratory Therapy. Respiratory Therapists work in all types of
healthcare settings to evaluate, treat, and care for patients with
breathing or other cardiopulmonary disorders. Practicing under the
direction of a physician they will assume primary responsibility for all
respiratory care therapeutic treatments and diagnostic procedures. The
graduate of the Respiratory Care Technology program will be eligible to
sit for the Certified Respiratory Therapist Exam and the Registered
Respiratory Therapist exam offered by the National Board of Respiratory
Therapy provided all eligibility requirements are met.
Students planning
to transfer to programs at other institutions, i.e.-nuclear
medicine or health care administration, are advised to contact the
Radiologic Technology Coordinator to obtain course requirements.
Students planning to enroll in another Allied Health program at
Southern are advised to contact the program coordinator for a
