Wanta, Technical Director Theron VanHooser, Associate Technical Director Farrell M. Calton, Medical Director Respiratory Therapy is the treatment, management, control and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the breathing process, through the therapeutic use of such aids as medical gases, oxygen administering devices, aerosols, chest physical therapy, respirators, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and mechanical airways. The Respiratory Therapy educational program is affiliated with the McKay-Dee Hospital Center and St. Benedict's Hospital in Ogden; and with the University Hospital, L.D.S. Hospital, Primary Children's Hospital, Veteran's Administration Hospital and Cottonwood Hospital in Salt Lake City. A specialized experience in the Pulmonary Laboratory at the Ft. Douglas Veteran's Administration Hospital in Salt Lake City is also included. A separate application is required for this program. For details regarding the application procedure, prospective candidates should contact the office of the Technical Director. Students may enroll at any time with advisement from the Respiratory Therapy Department. However, the official class begins spring quarter each year following selection of the students by the Respiratory Therapy Admissions Committee. To be eligible for consideration in the official class selection, each candidate must (1) be admitted to Weber State College; (2) submit a Respiratory Therapy program application; (3) present satisfactory high school and/or college achievement record; (4) be interviewed by a Respiratory Therapy adviser; (5) complete all the Respiratory Therapy prerequisites with a C or better grade; (6) and complete the battery of tests through Weber State College's Counseling and Testing Center. All six of the above steps must be completed prior to the end of the autumn quarter. These prerequisites include the Health Occupations core. It should be noted that conditional selection of students is made at mid-winter quarter. Therefore, candidates must be doing "C" or better in all their prerequisite classes at that time in order to be eligible for selection. The total program is seven quarters in length, including one summer session. The first two quarters are spent in filling prerequisites and some general education areas. Respiratory Therapy courses begin spring quarter of the freshman year and continue through the remaining four quarters. Total length of the program is 21 months. Respiratory Therapy students are involved in lectures, demonstrations, and clinical experiences. Lectures and demonstrations are presented in the on-campus Respiratory Therapy Laboratory; clinical experience is provided in the Ogden and Salt Lake hospitals affiliated with the program. Students who successfully complete the program are awarded the associate of applied science degree. To become a registered therapist, the student must complete one year of experience after graduation and then apply to the American Registry of Inhalation Therapists to take the Board Examinations. To apply and take this examination is the responsibility of the individual student. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 199.
