"Coming out of my schooling, I feel that I have a very good knowledge base of the equipment and techniques used in the field. But with that said, I know that the field will continue to evolve as time goes on. I am currently a member of the AARC and I also receive the monthly Respiratory Care journal. The group and publication are great about talking about new advancements in the field."

"Personally, I have always prided myself with being a continuous learner in this field, and I wouldn't be where I am today without doing so. I have been an active member of the AARC for many years and enjoy reading their publication regularly. I also regularly attend CME courses to help better myself as an RT and learn about new things in the field. Also, I like to learn as much as I can from the physicians that I work closely with on new technologies in the field."

As a Respiratory Therapist, staying up to date on the changes in technology and practice in the field is important. Your interviewer will be looking for ways that you stay current with these changes. Talk about the significance that continuing education has played or will play in your career. If you subscribe to any publications or belong to any organizations, talk about those as well.

"In my eight years in the field, a lot has changed in that short period of time. I love the fact that I am required to attend CME courses or events, as these have helped keep me up to speed on new advancements in RT. Recently, I took a course on non-invasive ventilation and learned new techniques and equipment for better helping the patients that I work with."
