Salt Lake Community College's Respiratory Therapy Program Receives Award




Recently, SLCC's Health Science Respiratory Therapist Program received an important award from the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC), earning the Distinguished RRT Credentialing Success Award.

Associate Dean for the Division of Allied Health, Angela Belnap, says, "This award is a big deal and a proud moment for everyone involved in the Respiratory Therapy program at Salt Lake Community College. It demonstrates how our faculty go above and beyond to prepare students for success in one of healthcare's most vital roles."

The recognition received through CoARC confirms that SLCC is among a select group of programs that effectively prepare graduates for a successful career in respiratory therapy. Furthermore, it is a testament to the commitment of SLCC professors to helping students reach their educational and professional goals.

The Respiratory Therapy program is a highly competitive program that provides students with classroom experience, as well as practical clinical experience in the field, by requiring them to obtain 500 hours of clinical experience.

Receiving the CoARC's Distinguished RRT Credentialing Success Award is a significant achievement for SLCC. "This award is not only recognition of past success, it is a promise for the future. This highlights the program's ongoing commitment to being student-centered education, community impact, and high-quality patient care," says Angela.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Salt Lake Community College Health Science Respiratory Therapist program!
