NBRC Relies on Its Consultants

The NBRC relies on the knowledge and expertise of volunteer consultants who work alongside Board Members to help evaluate and refine content for NBRC examinations.

Each consultant term is one year, renewable for additional one-year periods. When a new consultant comes aboard, each is paired with an experienced Board Member or consultant as a mentor to provide support and serve as a valuable resource as they acclimate to the position.

Our consultants serve one or several committees based on their areas of expertise:

RT Examination Breadth of Knowledge Committee (BREADTH)
RT Examination Depth of Clinical Judgement Committee (DEPTH)
Pulmonary Function Technology Examination Committee (PFT)
Adult Critical Care Specialty Examination Committee (ACCS)
Asthma Educator Specialty Examination Committee (AE-C)
Neonatal/Pediatric Specialty Examination Committee (NPS)
Sleep Disorders Specialty Examination Committee (SDS)
Advanced Practice Respiratory Therapy Outcome Assessment Committee (APRT)
Secure Self Assessment Examination Committee (SAE)

Our consultants’ expertise is instrumental in ensuring excellence in the respiratory care credentialing examinations.
