Respiratory Therapy by Farzad Refahi
With a goal of improving the life of healthcare providers as individuals and as clinicians.
Equipment is ready to go before calling in the next person!
I don’t have many extra or other items on the countertops and desks. This is so things don’t get contaminated with droplet and airborne particles. Also, with limited items on surfaces, it makes the clinical setting more organized and less distracting for patients.
What are some of your practices?

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.

Respiratory therapy/care is a very rewarding profession. During my journey of becoming an RRT, I experienced joy, excitement, doubt, anxiety, fear, a sense of teamwork, courage, and a better appreciation for life. I have grown, improved, and evolved as a respiratory therapist. If you are curious about this field, feel free to get in touch with me. If you are a new SRT, welcome!
