The faculty of the Columbus State Community College Respiratory Care Program support the mission and goals of the College to provide quality educational programs to enhance the educational and employment opportunities for learners.

The faculty views a quality program as one which is learner centered, focuses on success, provides a strong link between the educational program and the employment community, and provides learners with the knowledge and skills necessary for employment using practitioner faculty and experiential curricula.

The faculty view linkage of the educational program to the employment community as essential for success.  The employment community provides “real world” guidance that assures that the program instruction is current, helps identify trends in health care, and are the final evaluators of program outcomes.
