\n

The UNMC campus community is invited to the April 29 Nebraska Science Festival<\/a> event, \u201cBreathe Easy: Respiratory Therapists and the Evolution of a Profession,\u201d presented by UNMC\u2019s Master of Respiratory Care program. The event features the movie \u201cBreathe,\u201d starring Andrew Garfield, followed by a professional panel on ethics, quality, safety, patient-centered care and audience questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBreathe Easy\u201d runs from 6-9 p.m. at Film Streams’ Ruth Sokolof Theater, 1340 Mike Fahey St. in Omaha. Light refreshments will be provided, and admission is free for those who RSVP by email at this link<\/a> by 4 p.m. today (April 25).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A host of medical professionals and those interested in the profession have been invited. But attendees don\u2019t need to be familiar with respiratory therapy to enjoy the movie. \u201cBreathe\u201d tells the inspiring true-life love story about the husband-wife team (Garfield and Claire Foy from \u201cThe Crown\u201d) featuring the first patient to go home on a respirator, whose innovation and advocacy transformed lives for those needing respiratory care. Watch the trailer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is a public celebration of the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions’ 15th<\/sup> professional program, respiratory care. UNMC\u2019s respiratory care program<\/a> has begun recruitment to enroll its first cohort of students in fall 2024 for both an \u201centry-level\u201d master\u2019s degree program and a degree-completion program for current respiratory therapists who want to obtain a master\u2019s degree to practice their profession at its highest level in Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respiratory therapists are crucial members of the health care team whose work has become more recognized since the COVID-19 pandemic. UNMC\u2019s newest allied health professional program will help meet workforce needs in Nebraska and nationwide and prepare current respiratory therapists to practice at a higher scope of their profession and take leadership roles within health care teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBreathe Easy: Respiratory Therapists and the Evolution of a Profession\u201d is sponsored by the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions and UNMC Department of Strategic Communications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
