Clinical Courses are located at medical facilities throughout central Indiana with IU Health being a primary clinical affiliate.

Description of Profession

Respiratory therapists evaluate, treat, rehabilitate, and educate patients to prevent and manage cardiopulmonary diseases. Procedures performed by therapists include aerosolized medication therapy, bronchopulmonary clearance techniques, and administration of medical gases. Respiratory therapists also provide ventilator support, pulmonary rehabilitation and advanced life support. They are skilled in airway maintenance, procurement and analysis of arterial blood gas samples, and in the performance of pulmonary function tests and sleep diagnostic studies. Respiratory therapists work primarily in hospitals caring for patients in nurseries, medical and surgical units, adult and pediatric intensive care units, and emergency rooms. As valued members of the multi-disciplinary medical team, they work directly with physicians, nurses and other medical professionals to provide care to patients. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are essential for respiratory therapists.

Program Goals

“To prepare graduates with demonstrated competence in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning domains of respiratory care practice as performed by registered respiratory therapists.”

“To prepare leaders for the field of respiratory care by including curricular content related to the acquisition of skills in management, education and research.”
