MONROE, Mich. – The deadline for qualified candidates to submit applications to the respiratory therapy program at Monroe County Community College has been extended to July 1.

Respiratory therapy, or respiratory care, is an allied health profession specializing in cardiopulmonary disorders and diseases. A respiratory therapist can be instrumental in assisting a physician in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of a wide spectrum of disorders affecting the heart and lungs. A registered respiratory therapist requires a minimum of a two-year degree program and most RRTs work in a hospital.
MCCC graduates of the respiratory therapy program exceed the national averages for success on board exams. Future employment for registered respiratory therapists is considered excellent nationwide.
The Monroe County Community College respiratory therapy program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care.
