Exam Background Information

The American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), the Committee on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC) and the NBRC adopted a position statement in 2003 recognizing the RRT credential as the standard of excellence in the respiratory care profession. As a result of this position, the AARC and CoARC requested the NBRC consider a time limit on RRT eligibility. The NBRC Board of Trustees approved the new admissions policy in November 2004.
 

The Registry Examination System was developed to objectively measure essential tasks required of advanced respiratory therapists and to set uniform standards for measuring such knowledge. The CRT credential is a prerequisite for admission to the Registry Examination.
The National Board for Respiratory Care, Inc. (NBRC) is a voluntary health certifying board created in 1960 to evaluate the professional competence of respiratory therapists and pulmonary technologists. The primary purposes of the NBRC are to prepare and conduct examinations to test the qualifications of candidates for certification and registration in defined areas of respiratory care.
