We wanted to take a moment to congratulate all of our 2022 BSRT/MSRC graduates! As you move on to the next big things in your life/career, remember that the faculty at UNCC will always be here for you.

With that said, we were able to snag a few photos with our students after busy graduation. If you have any more photos to add, please email them to [email protected] to share!

Happy Respiratory Care Week, BSRT & MSRC students, UNCC alumni, & program faculty as well as all the respiratory therapists in North Carolina, across the country, & around the world!
For many of us, life as we previously knew it has been fundamentally altered. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused so much change in so little time. It has swamped our hospitals & brought on mass fear of illness, as well as unemployment & recession. It has closed restaurants, schools, & even whole nations.
Thank you to all the respiratory therapists, near & far, for the sacrifices you make, every day and especially during this pandemic. Your dedication, commitment, and courage deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration. Your service to your patients & community is saving countless lives & making thousands of differences. Many of you balanced job expectations, personal life requirements, school deadlines, & the continued unknowns of COVID-19. You are all heroes in our eyes & this country wouldn't be able to get through this time without you. You inspire us each & every day.
During this difficult time, please know that we stand by you. It is a privilege to call each of you our colleagues during this very trying time. Please know that your brave, hard work is not going unrecognized and we appreciate each of you rising to the current challenge. Thank you so much for all that you do and know we are here to support you in any way that we can!

"You are braver than you believe,
and stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think."

Participation is down in education programs, with a 27% enrollment decrease since 2010, and only 10% of programs are currently at capacity. Help us attract more RTs to prevent gaps in respiratory care: https://bit.ly/3eL4doE

Listen in as BSRT alumnae Charley Starnes & Candace Yow discuss the impact of increasing COVID-19 hospitalizations on the respiratory therapy profession in North Carolina. We appreciate your advocacy & are very proud to call you our RT colleagues! 💚🖤👩🏻‍⚕️

Respiratory therapists play a critical role in treating COVID-19 patients. They were in high demand before the coronavirus pandemic, and now, with a surge in cases, the need is even greater.
