Master of Respiratory Therapy

The future of Advanced Respiratory Care begins here.

RT 1The Ohio State University Master of Respiratory Therapy (MRT) is the first advanced practice clinical master’s degree for respiratory care in the nation. The MRT is designed to prepare advanced respiratory care practitioners as clinical specialists in a variety of settings.

The MRT will allow for an expanded scope of practice and additional professional growth opportunities that are currently not available in respiratory therapy.
