RT 100 - Basic Sciences for Respiratory CareCredits: 2 Instructional Contact Hours: 2
Introduces the basic principles of math, chemistry, and physics utilized in the field of respiratory care. Emphasizes the physical and chemical principles relating to liquids and gases as they provide a foundation for the study of respiratory care. May include a required job shadow experience to become validated. This may require that students complete an online training session, have proof of a negative TB tine test and other supporting documentation before gaining access to the agency.
Prerequisite(s): High School GPA of 2.5 or higher within the last ten years, OR completion of MTH 095 or higher, OR completion of the Guided Self-Placement (GSP) process Corequisite(s): None Lecture Hours: 30 Lab Hours: 0 Pass/NoCredit: No
