Ad Hoc Committee for Academic Advancement Updates

The Borough of Manhattan Community College Advisory Board were supportive, especially with the new language of the bill.

May update from the Ad Hoc Team is advancing the academic requirements for RTs. This supports their significant role in managing complex cardiopulmonary disorders and aligns with current medical advancements.

The NYSSRC Ad Hoc Committee persists in advancing respiratory care in NY, retaining legislative sponsors and seeking meetings with key educational offices for support.

The statewide election season for representatives in the Assembly and Senate is certainly having an impact on moving our initiative forward at this time.

The NYSSRC Ad Hoc Committee has been actively working to upgrade the academic entry-level standard for Respiratory Care to a BS degree through various meetings and legislative engagements.
