Wednesday, February 14, 2018


By Kate Hunger 

A full schedule of continuing education sessions awaits attendees of UT Health San Antonio's 23rd annual Respiratory Care Symposium: "Breakthrough to Excellence," to be held March 15-16.

"The purpose is to have another affordable option for allied health professionals in the surrounding areas to get continuing education credits," said Kristina Ramirez, MPH, RRT, CHES, assistant professor and director of clinical education in the Division of Respiratory Care. 

The symposium's continuing education is offered through the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) and fills out a two-day schedule packed with a dozen session on topics including pulmonary management, interstitial lung disease, and the role of the respiratory therapist. The symposium will be education and relevant to anyone in the allied health professions, Ramirez said. 

The event will be held at the Academic Learning and Teaching Center (ALTC). Attendees will also be able to visit vendors whose displays and products will be conveniently located next door to the sessions. 

Registration is available online and includes breakfast, lunch, and parking.
