EMT, Histology, and Respiratory Care

The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) is the leading national and international professional association for Respiratory Care. We work with RTs to encourage, promote, and facilitate their professional excellence. We do that by advancing the science and practice of Respiratory Care and serving as an advocate for patients and their families, the public, the profession, and each unique and individual respiratory therapist.

The CoARC’s mission is: to ensure that high quality educational programs prepare graduates to be competent respiratory therapists with proficiency in practice, education, research, and service.

AARC Perspectives includes clinical-focused conversations with members of the respiratory therapy community. Tune in for discussions on ventilation, patient care, chronic disease management, trending news, and more.
