Career Information

The AARC Career Site offers several resources that are great for current Respiratory Care students, including the Career Advice section with resume tips, job bank, etc. Also, the Life & Breath videos available here show an overview of the career, but also have shorter videos on several of the specialties available that may be of interest. This is the same video that is available on DVD through the AARC Store, so you or the school may already have a copy.
