Respiratory Care students investigate the causes of pulmonary diseases and injuries that impact on the pulmonary system structure and function. This course concentrates upon diagnostic techniques that lead to a better understanding of etiology and pathogenesis of pulmonary disease and response to injury. Critical thinking in response to the diagnostic process and treatment choice is emphasized. Clinical Simulation Exams are offered each week to reinforce the application of lecture material and prepare the student for NBRC Registry exams.
