RESPIRATORY CARE

Vision for Respiratory Care Program 

To provide the El Camino College community with competent caring entry and advanced-level Respiratory Care graduates via a curriculum that utilizes the most effective technology to deliver instruction, certify competence, improve course access, and increase student success.

Mission

To provide an educational opportunity to anyone with the right aptitudes and interests to become a Caring Competent Respiratory Care Practitioner.  

Program Description:

The degree and/or certificate in Respiratory Care are awarded after successful completion of the entry-level Respiratory Care Program.  The program is designed for students planning to become California licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners and transfer to an advanced-level Respiratory Care Program at the community college or university level.  Completion of the requirements also allows students to apply for National entry-level and specialty credentialing examinations.  Students will acquire the skills to provide a wide range of high technology and high-touch therapeutic interventions to patients in acute and chronic care settings.  Competencies are assessed through the use of classroom, laboratory, and clinical performance evaluations in simulated and actual patient care situations. Program success is determined through examining employment rates and licensure exam pass rates.
