SIGN UP!"My journey at KU Medical Center began while I was still in my AAS program. I was able to take three classes before graduating with my associate degree to jump-start my bachelor’s program. This allowed me to have a headstart into the program, so I only had six courses to complete while I began my respiratory career full time. This program has opened new opportunities and experiences that I would not have had otherwise. I would recommend the Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care program at KU Medical Center for any student wanting to accelerate their career. "- Lauren Brownlow, Class of 2021
