When do I start learning about Respiratory Therapy?

You will begin learning about Respiratory Therapy your first semester in the program (which starts in the spring). You will view online lectures and participate in labs (only 1 day per week) at Cleveland Clinic’s SIM Center. Clinicals at Cleveland Clinic will begin in the third semester (the first fall). Clinical is the time that you spend at the bedside working with a licensed respiratory therapist on actual patients.
