About Respiratory Care (A.S. Degree), Other UG Award - at Valencia College

Respiratory Therapists assist in diagnosing and treating patients with acute and chronic cardiopulmonary illnesses.

Graduates are eligible to obtain the national credential(s) through the National Board for Respiratory Care.
