St. John's, September 5, 2002 - The results are in, and the graduates of College of the North Atlantic’s Respiratory Therapy program have done it again!
For the second time in as many years, graduates of the program have achieved a 100 per cent pass rate on the Canadian Board for Respiratory Care (CBRD) national certification examinations. Making this year’s achievement even greater is that this time College of the North Atlantic students had the highest average marks of any school across Canada writing the June examinations.
Pamela Walsh, President of College of the North Atlantic, says the graduates should be very proud of their achievement, and that it speaks highly of the quality of the Respiratory Therapy program and the faculty delivering it.
“Our graduates of the Health Sciences programs do extremely well on their national certification examinations. In the past two years we have had graduates achieve 100 per cent pass rates in this program, in Medical Radiography, and in Diagnostic Ultrasonography,” she says.
“The students, faculty and staff working in the School of Health Sciences should be very proud of their accomplishments.”
Dr. Donna Henderson, the Chair of the School of Health Sciences, attributes the results to the hard work of the students and dedication of their instructors.
All of the June graduates have found employment in their field.
