What Happens When Respiratory Therapists Go GLOBAL? (Part 1)
We’re taking the conversation beyond the bedside and exploring the world of global respiratory care, global health, international collaboration, and the growing impact of Respiratory Therapists around the world. Host Linda “Thee Asthma Lady” is joined by two incredible guest co-hosts: Dorothy Bendah, Founder & President of the Africa Respiratory Care Association (ARCA), returns to RTs Share Tea to continue sharing her journey of building an international respiratory care coalition and creating connections across borders. Dr. Peter Jaswilko, ARCA Advisory Board Member and Director of Communications and Assessments supporting global health initiatives, joins the conversation for the first time to share his journey as a Respiratory Therapist, his international experiences with ARCA, and how global health has shaped the way he sees respiratory care.
