It's one of the first programs of its kind. Here's why it makes sense:

• No more long commutes for respiratory classroom lectures.

• Interaction with the professor is the same as it would be with traditional courses.

• we share resources to ensure that we are able to continue serving the students and the communities who need us.

• It's a natural -- a high-tech program using a cutting-edge teaching tool.

Most of all, it's good for the students. Here's how it works

• You can take all of your required supportive courses at Richland.

• You do your AMA-accedited respiratory cousework through live interactive telecourses that are broadcast from the Parkland campus to Richland classroom. (Hands-on labs will be held at Parkland).

• You do your clinical work at St. Mary's Hospital and Decatur Memorial Hospital.
