Overview

You can be the one who literally helps breathe new life into a patient. Respiratory therapists are critical healthcare workers who possess the skills to assess, diagnose and treat patients who have difficulty breathing. This Respiratory Therapy programme at Nova Southeastern University includes everything from helping patients with respiratory conditions, like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, to attending to emergency situations that require the use of a life support machine. Respiratory care is a growing healthcare field that is rewarding professionally and personally.

Key Facts

As a student in this program, you’ll learn in high-tech simulation suites equipped with the same mechanical ventilators and equipment you’ll find at hospitals and other healthcare facilities around the country. A 10-bed intensive care unit with video conferencing features helps to prepare you to handle the most critical situations—you’ll experience real-life hospital emergencies in these simulation suites without the pressure of having a professor over your shoulder. You’ll be prepared for an emergency situation before you ever touch a real patient.
