Accreditation

COARC Program # 200369

The Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care became a freestanding accreditor of respiratory care programs in November 2009. CoARC accredits respiratory therapy education programs in the United States. To achieve this end, it utilizes an 'outcomes based' process. Programmatic outcomes are performance indicators that reflect the extent to which the educational goals of the program are achieved and by which program effectiveness is documented.
