To take care of acutely ill and injured children in today’s increasingly complex technological environment, new graduate Respiratory Care Providers (RCPs) need extended clinical experiences in neonatal and pediatrics with appropriate support systems for a successful transition from respiratory student to a professional RCP.

Program Curriculum
One-to-One Preceptor Training
Our RCP residents spend 75% of the program time receiving one-to-one precepted training in the clinical setting. Our preceptors are experienced bedside pediatric and neonatal RCP’s who are specially trained to provide expert clinical guidance to the resident.
Skills and Practice
Our RCP residents spend the remaining 25% of the program time in the classroom and skills lab. These sessions are taught by our experienced pediatric and neonatal RCP’s, subject matter experts, and clinical specialists. Sessions give the residents the tools necessary to make the transition from new graduate RCP to specialty neonatal and pediatric RCP.
Dedicated Mentors, Coaches, and Resources
A mentor is there to help guide the resident in their career development and provide them with the tools needed for them to grow professionally.
Supportive Debriefing
Our RCP residents participate in supportive debriefing and self care groups throughout the program. Our debriefing sessions are mediated by various members of our multidisciplinary team. In these forums you can vent your stresses and share your experiences in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
Looping
The looping experience is an individualized rotation/orientation to different areas where RCP’s are used such as Emergency Transport, Pulmonary Function and Sleep Lab.
