Who makes up the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC)?
Answer
The NBRC is a not-for-profit organization that is comprised of representatives:
AARC – American Association for Respiratory Care
CHEST – American College of Chest Physicians
ASA – American Society of Anesthesiologists
ATS – American Thoracic Society
The NBRC is a non-profit organization comprised of representatives from these four organizations 1) AARC, 2) the American College of Chest Physicians, 3) the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and 4) the American Thoracic Society. From all these individual organizations, you can see that we get input from various outlets in several different areas to make sure that it is not all one-sided. That respiratory therapists are not the bureaucracy or only respiratory therapists decide what respiratory therapists should know. We have several physician groups that likewise add their input.
