Respiratory Care organizations

Respiratory Care organizations are professional groups that support healthcare providers specialized in treating respiratory conditions, like asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis. They set standards for education, certification, and best practices to ensure patients receive high-quality care. These organizations also promote research, advocate for patients and practitioners, and foster networking among respiratory therapists and clinicians. By providing resources and promoting ongoing education, they help ensure respiratory care is safe, effective, and based on current scientific knowledge. Examples include the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS).
