At the sessions, participants can learn about respiratory therapy careers, including job duties, employment outlook and classes needed to enter the program. Prospective students can also earn a point toward admission into the program by attending.
According to Dr. Ijaz Ahmed, Respiratory Therapy program director, the RT program operates as a cohort group beginning each Fall semester. There are three pre-admission courses students also need to take, including Math 151 Intermediate Algebra, Biology 151 Biological Sciences I and Biology 257 Anatomy and Physiology I. Students interested in beginning the RT program with the Fall 2021 cohort may want to take the pre-admission courses in Winter or Summer 2021.
The application deadline for the Fall 2020 program is June 24.
“The MCCC RT program is recognized as one of the best in the state of Michigan and the United States. We are a recipient of the Distinguished Credentialing Success Award from the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care," said Ahmed.
MCCC's RT program has articulation agreements with University of Michigan-Flint, Eastern Michigan University and University of Toledo that make transferring to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree quite simple, Ahmed said, adding that the college plans to secure even more articulation agreements in the near future.
