Program Mission
The Respiratory Therapy program is focused on the development of qualified graduates who are prepared to provide the essentials for the safe and effective delivery of respiratory care and patient education.
The goal of the Respiratory Care Program is to prepare graduates as competent registered respiratory therapists (RRTs). Professional competence combines cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills essential for the safe and effective delivery of respiratory care. The Respiratory Care Program uses the outcome‐based education model to ensure students develop and master the knowledge, skills, and professional behaviors expected of the registered respiratory therapist (RRT).
The Washburn University Respiratory Care Program, #200323, Associate of Applied Science degree, Topeka, KS, is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) (www.coarc.com).
CoARC accredits respiratory therapy education programs in the United States. To achieve this end, it utilizes an ‘outcomes-based’ process. Programmatic outcomes are performance indicators that reflect the extent to which the educational goals of the program are achieved and by which program effectiveness is documented.
Outcomes data from the Annual Report of Current Status has been posted on the CoARC website. Follow this link directly to the Programmatic Outcomes Data page: https://coarc.com/students/programmatic-outcomes-data/.
