The respiratory care bachelor's program provides a comprehensive upper-division curriculum culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree. First-year Stony Brook students can choose respiratory care as their lower-division major. Respiratory therapists focus on assessing and treating individuals with cardiopulmonary and sleep-related conditions. These healthcare professionals assist diverse patient populations ranging from newborns to senior citizens across multiple environments, including medical facilities, outpatient clinics, private practices, long-term care institutions, and recovery centers. Growing numbers are pursuing roles in diagnostic testing areas (including sleep studies, heart procedures, and lung assessments) and home-based care services. Program graduates pursue careers as practitioners, administrators, instructors, and investigators.
