Respiratory Therapy

Program Details

Program Model / Completion Requirements

Respiratory Therapy is a three-year program delivered over six semesters.

This program is under review and subject to change.

Year 1 consists of lectures and laboratory sessions at NAIT along with a short clinical rotation to orientate the student to the respiratory care industry.

Year 2 consists of lectures and laboratory sessions at NAIT as well as a variety of clinical rotations.

Year 3 consists primarily of clinical rotations interspersed with lectures and laboratory sessions at NAIT.

Note: A number of course hours are completed off campus and involve weekends and nights. Housing, board and transportation costs incurred during clinical placements are the responsibility of the student. Clinical site expansions may require students to travel outside the Edmonton region. The program will strive to give students their location preference, but each clinical site has limited capacity for students.
