SPRINGFIELD 鈥 Lincoln Land Community College鈥檚 respiratory care program is among a select group of programs across the country recently recognized with the Distinguished Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) Credentialing Success Award.

鈥淥ur focus is on helping our students succeed in the classroom and as future respiratory therapists in the workplace,鈥 says Jan Szoke, 汤头条app鈥檚 program director, respiratory care. 鈥淩ight now, there are more job openings than graduate therapists to fill them. Most of our graduates have multiple job offers before completing the 21-month program.鈥
