Our Mission

As our aging population grows, so does the prevalence of respiratory-related ailments. To meet this medical need, a variety of new respiratory diagnostic and treatment options are being developed. With the availability of these new options, respiratory care professionals will require the most up-to-date, scientifically- and clinically-based information to help them make informed decisions on what is best for their patients.

It is with this goal we welcome you to Clinical Foundations, an education program that is dedicated to helping respiratory care professionals who care for the critically and chronically ill.

Clinical Foundations will provide practical, clinically- and evidenced-based articles, case studies and symposia for respiratory therapists and respiratory care directors, managers, and supervisors. Clinical Foundations is based on a patient-focused model of care that emphasizes the need to provide the care and services that focus on patients’ individual needs and preferences.

As part of our commitment to helping respiratory care professionals improve their skills, each edition of Clinical Foundations will be fully accredited by the AARC for CRCE as an independent study program.
