You care about people. You want them to get healthy. You know that helping people means more than prescribing medicine, it means listening to their lungs to be sure they get the care they need. You keep track of patient's breathing medical records. Without you, we'd never take a deep breath. You like that.

Respiratory therapists are assessors, treaters and carers of all things breathing related. Respiratory therapists evaluate, treat, and care for patients with breathing disorders.
