Respiratory therapists help patients breathe easier, but where can a career in respiratory therapy take you next?

In this episode of Inside Marywood Health Sciences, host Samantha Miko sits down with Sarah Dalton, Director of Clinical Education, and Jonelle Vinton, Program Director, from Marywood University’s Respiratory Therapy program to explore the profession, the value of continuing education, and why earning a bachelor’s degree can be about so much more than adding another credential.

Sarah and Jonelle share their own journeys into respiratory therapy, discuss the many roles respiratory therapists play across healthcare settings, and take a closer look at how the profession continues to evolve.

The conversation also explores Marywood’s RRT-to-BSRT program and what returning to school can look like for working respiratory therapists. From developing leadership skills and expanding career opportunities to preparing for the future of the profession, Sarah and Jonelle discuss how continuing your education can help you take the next step in your respiratory therapy career.

Whether you’re considering a career in respiratory therapy, currently studying to become an RT, or you’re already an RRT thinking about what comes next, this conversation is for you.
