§ 4711. Temporary licensure for student respiratory therapists
(a) Respiratory care services may be performed without a license by a student currently
enrolled in a respiratory care educational program when these services are incidental
to the clinical aspect of a student’s course of study.
(b) A student enrolled in a respiratory care educational program who is employed in an
organized health care system shall apply for a temporary student license from the
Director prior to performing respiratory care services. Students who have obtained
a temporary license may render respiratory care services only under the direct supervision
of a licensed respiratory care practitioner for a limited period of time and under
conditions specified by the Director by rule. The scope of practice of the student
respiratory therapist is limited to those activities for which there is documented
evidence of competency. (Added 2003, No. 139 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
