| There is a lot of diversity in the field of Respiratory Therapy. Many RT’s work in hospitals in the Intensive Care Unit, Delivery Room, Operating Room, Emergency Department and/or Pulmonary Function Lab. RT’s may also bring their skills into the community where they work in home care, complex continuing care or rehabilitation facilities. Career opportunities are also growing in business environments, research and education. Further study is available in such areas as: Anesthesia Assistant and/or Cardiovascular Perfusion. With your Diploma in Respiratory Therapy from Michener, you can complete a University Degree. |
