“I enjoy the close patient contact that we get in the UAMS respiratory care program. UAMS prepares us well for working with patients through extensive lab and clinical experiences. With the small class size, the faculty interacts with us on a personal basis. Additionally, we get diverse and rewarding experiences, from delivering the first breath of life to a newborn baby to helping a child with asthma breathe. I look forward to many diverse career opportunities.”

“The UAMS Respiratory Care program is exciting and challenging. This field is fast-paced and growing rapidly. My experience in this program has been wonderful. I learn something new everyday from our excellent teachers. I’ve never seen teachers so willing and determined to help. When I graduate, I will have the knowledge and strong educational background to succeed. Knowing that one day I will help save lives is rewarding and gives me sense of accomplishment. It is a privilege to be a part of such a great program and exciting field.”
