Looking for information about mass casualty planning or a possible avian flu pandemic? There is a wealth of state and national information on the Informational Web Sites page of this web site.
If you have not taken your RRT test a note from the NBRC!!!
The National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) recently passed a resolution that may impact your state’s respiratory care practitioners and the status of their credentials and/or license. We encourage you to read the following information carefully, share it with respiratory therapists in your state, and contact us at 888-341-4811 with any questions. Please note that this information is also available online at www.nbrc.org or for information about amnesty (RRT.pdf).
The NBRC Board of Trustees has granted an extension to individuals who graduated from an advanced-level respiratory therapy education program with an associate degree (prior to January 1, 2005) to take and pass the Registry Examination for Advanced Respiratory Therapists (RRT).
The new deadline to earn the RRT credential is February 28, 2009.
