Today I received the renewal confirmation for my Certified Respiratory Educator (CRE). A quick shoutout to the Canadian Network for Respiratory Care (CNRC). Also, a big thank you to Cheryl Connors for helping me with this renewal and answering all my questions! As I reflected in a recent post, proper diagnosis of patients requires skilled clinicians and supportive organizations. Meeting the requirements for CRE is one way to raise the standards.
