We support the need for excellence in the field through rigorous examinations that ensure hard work and dedication go into achieving and maintaining NBRC credentials. Part of our commitment includes making sure you have access to the resources and information you need to fulfill your own role in ensuring excellence in respiratory patient care.
Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT)
The RRT credential is nationally recognized as the “standard of excellence” for respiratory care professionals.
The examinations for the RRT credential objectively and uniformly measure essential knowledge, skills and abilities required of advanced respiratory therapists. The NBRC evaluates the competency of respiratory therapists and ensures that graduates of accredited respiratory care education programs have every opportunity to earn the RRT credential. It is in high demand nationwide, and we work diligently to help to fill the shortage of qualified respiratory therapists in the field.
Sleep Disorders Specialty (SDS)
The Sleep Disorders Specialty (SDS) Examination objectively measures the knowledge and skills of respiratory therapists who perform sleep disorders testing and therapeutic intervention. It goes above and beyond general respiratory care activities to focus specifically on competencies that are unique to diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Therefore, wearing the CRT-SDS or RRT-SDS badge of distinction signals to employers, colleagues and patients that your skills are highly specialized.
