RESPIRATORY THERAPY LICENSE
 
I support contining education for the practice of Respiratory Care in the form of CRCE or CEU's.  I do not feel that 15-20 bi-annually would be to much to require to insure current and update knowledge of our practice.  I also have student concerns, some of which are, could students be allowed to have a grace period after graduating to take their boards while employed as a graduate therapist?  I think nursing has a three month grace period and feel this would be suffienct for others also.  I would like to see some action regarding CEU's, it seems like we have waited a long time for some resolution.
