Valencia College’s BS in Cardiopulmonary Sciences empowers registered respiratory therapists and allied-health professionals to deepen expertise in critical-care modalities, hemodynamics, and advanced diagnostics. The hybrid curriculum combines in-depth cardiopulmonary pathophysiology, mechanical-ventilation strategies, and emerging technologies such as ECMO and point-of-care ultrasound. Interprofessional projects with nursing and EMS cohorts foster collaborative clinical judgment, while research courses sharpen skills in evidence appraisal and quality-improvement design. A culminating practicum in a high-acuity ICU setting bridges classroom learning to patient-centered outcomes.
