Our Respiratory Care Residency program, is a six-month program, which encompasses 11 modules of didactic learning, to develop one’s ability to think critically, preform evidence-based learning, and become oriented on built-in respiratory care equipment. With an evaluation performed to track competency, at the conclusion of the six-month program.
