Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care

Four-year academic degree From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care (BSRC or BScRC) is a four-year academic degree in the science and principles of respiratory care, granted by a tertiary education university or similarly accredited school.[1]

In the United States, one is eligible to sit for the NBRC-WRE licensing examination to become a registered respiratory therapist after graduating from either a two-year program with an associate's degree, or from a four-year program with a bachelor's degree. The bachelor's degree prepares respiratory practitioners for a professional role away from the bedside with coursework in science, research, leadership, and informatics.[2][3]
