Q: (Initially posted on August 12, 2003) FROM MENTEE JACQUE IN HI
I am thinking about a career in respiratory therapy, from what I have heard you only need to take a two-year program. Is this true? If so, what colleges offer this two-year program? Thank you!

A: FROM MENTOR .LESLIE WAITE IN CA
It is true that Respiratory Therapy requires a two year degree,
called an Associate's Degree. There are a number of colleges that
offer programs in respiratory therapy. For a list by state, go to the
American Association for Respiratory Care site. They have a listing
of accredited programs here:

You may also want to go to their main home page
(http://www.aarc.org/) to get more information about this field.

Good luck!
