Neonatal Respiratory Therapy Specialty Program

Course Aim

The aim of this program is to provide participants with foundational knowledge and skills in neonatal cardio-respiratory acute care.

Program Overview

Respiratory therapists at SickKids are committed to working collaboratively within an interprofessional team to provide excellent family-centred, cardio-respiratory care to neonates and infants. This goal is realized through the sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience with the healthcare team. The Neonatal Respiratory Therapy Specialty Program will examine neonatal critical illness from a respiratory therapy perspective with a core focus on cardio-respiratory health. This program will provide an advanced environment for examination and reflection of professional values and provide participants with the opportunity to develop new skills in neonatal respiratory therapy practice including (but not limited to): neonatal assessment, oxygen therapy, invasive and non-invasive ventilation, high frequency oscillation, and lab value interpretation. Participating clinicians will obtain and solidify the foundational knowledge and technical competencies required to deliver high quality care in respiratory therapy practice.
