Project Background
One of the objectives of the NARTRB is to consider the mechanisms to develop, promote and evaluate national standards for the regulation of the profession of Respiratory Therapy. The development of a common process for the recognition of foreign credentials, as well as a process to assess the entry-to-practice competence of all potential (foreign- and Canadian-trained) practitioners of Respiratory Therapy would be of interest to the Alliance.
The Alliance is currently seeking a research firm or consultant to conduct an investigation of issues related to the entry of foreign trained healthcare professionals into the profession of respiratory therapy in Canada, and gather diagnostic information related to the integration of foreign trained professionals into the field.
