Overview

Advanced Diploma in Respiratory Therapy

This program is not available for international students. 

This three-year program is designed to satisfy the educational requirements for registration as a Registered Respiratory Therapist based on the National Competency Framework for Respiratory Therapy. 

Accreditation Canada nationally accredits the program. This fully integrated program provides a diverse learning environment that utilizes classroom education, laboratory sessions, clinically immersive simulation, e-learning, and early clinical exposure with continuous role modeling of the profession. 

This career-focused program is further enhanced by adopting the I4 approach to curriculum. This involves planning and delivering an Impactful, Intentional, Integrated and Interprofessional curriculum. It will prepare students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and critical thinking ability for proficiency within both the critical care and community care environments.

 Work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences will take place at our healthcare partner sites throughout southern Ontario. 

Respiratory therapists specialize in the identification and treatment of various cardiopulmonary disorders. 

Respiratory therapists are an integral part of the healthcare team, providing services such as ventilation and airway management, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, oxygen and aerosol therapy, patient assessment and evaluation, assisting at high-risk births and assisting with anesthesia in the operating room. 

In the community, respiratory therapists bring their expertise to home care, asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) education, rehabilitation, education and medical equipment sales. Respiratory therapists must have the ability to work and practice sound decision-making within stressful environments. Respiratory therapy is a field that is continually changing and requires ongoing engagement in reflective practice and lifelong learning.
