Accreditation

CoARC accredits respiratory therapy education programs in the United States. To achieve this end, it utilizes an ‘outcomes based’ process. Programmatic outcomes are performance indicators that reflect the extent to which the educational goals of the program are achieved and by which program effectiveness is documented.

• Outcomes data from the Annual Report of Current Status has been posted on the CoARC website.
• The CoARC’s outcomes webpage https://coarc.com/students/programmatic-outcomes-data/

• The LAVC Respiratory Therapy Program, CoARC program number 200210, for the associate in science degree is located in the San Fernando Valley in California and is accredited by the commission on Accreditation of Respiratory Care (CoARC). Any questions or information about LAVC’s RT program or any other accredited RT schools please contact: www.coarc.com

  LAVC has received an Approval of Intent and is currently in the process of seeking CoARC accreditation for the BSRT program. (Program number 510038) However, LAVC can provide no assurance that accreditation will be granted by the CoARC.
