Now Accepting Applications – Respiratory Care Technology Program!

There are still a few spots left in Southern’s Respiratory Care Technology Program for this fall! Classes are held on our Williamson campus.

Interested in a career helping others breathe easier? Respiratory Therapists play a vital role in healthcare, working with patients who have breathing and cardiopulmonary issues in hospitals, clinics, and more. Under the direction of a physician, they provide diagnostic testing, therapeutic treatments, and critical respiratory care.

Graduates of the program are eligible to take the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) and Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) exams through the National Board for Respiratory Care.
For more information, contact Stephanie Daniel, Program Director, at 304.236.7632 or .
