Fleming College Respiratory Therapy Program receives accreditation with condition status
Peterborough, ON – (April 23, 2025) – Fleming College’s Respiratory Therapy Program has officially received accreditation with condition status from Accreditation Canada’s EQual program. This is a significant milestone that affirms the program’s commitment to delivering high-quality health education and further positioning the College as a leader in applied health education.
Achieving accreditation with condition status enables graduates to write the Health Professionals Testing Canada (HPTC) exam—a critical step toward becoming a registered member of the College of Respiratory Therapists of Ontario (CRTO). This means that students graduating from the program can confidently enter the workforce with the credentials and recognition required to practice in Ontario and across Canada, reinforcing Fleming College’s commitment to producing career-ready health professionals.
Launched in 2023, the Respiratory Therapy program at Fleming prepares students to become skilled healthcare professionals specializing in the treatment of respiratory, cardiac, and pulmonary conditions. The accelerated two-year program emphasizes hands-on, practical learning, enabling students to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate safe and effective cardio-respiratory care.
Fleming’s program equips graduates with the knowledge, clinical skills, and critical judgement needed to provide high-quality care to diverse patients in both hospital and community-based settings. These skills are becoming increasingly valuable as Ontario’s population continues to grow and age.
