The MS Society for Respiratory Care Nominations/Elections Committee is thrilled to announce the commencement of the 2024 MSRC Elections!

Voting will start on September 1, 2024, at midnight and conclude on September 30 at midnight. Your vote helps elect MSRC members ready to go to work for you. Although the MSRC supports and benefits all respiratory therapists in Mississippi, only active AARC members are eligible to vote. Membership verification requires an email and your AARC number. 

We urge you to renew or become a member at https://my.aarc.org/Join-Renew-Membership and join us in our efforts to advance the profession for patients and respiratory therapists. Mississippi RTs can begin by raising awareness about respiratory care on the home front, which can result in a greater impact on legislative decisions.

Who are Respiratory Therapists?

Respiratory Therapists are allied health care professionals specializing in diagnosis, treatment, care planning, and other matters surrounding pulmonary (lung) disease. Respiratory Therapists can be found in outpatient & inpatient hospital or clinic settings, home care companies, research institutions, skilled nursing facilities, and other settings as well. Although Respiratory Therapist are more specialized in lung disorders, they also have a knowledge of other diseases in healthcare.

Respiratory Therapists are Nationally Boarded professionals at two distinguished levels. The National Board for Respiratory Care, or NBRC, validates two credentialing examinations. The first examination level is the Entry-Level (Certified Respiratory Therapist), and the second examination level is the Advance-Level (Registered Respiratory Therapist).
