Effective from 2015, the name of the examination that one takes for Certification changes from the Entry Level CRT Examination to the Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination (TMC). The Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination is designed to objectively measure essential knowledge, skills, and abilities required of entry-level respiratory therapists, as well as determine eligibility for the Clinical Simulation Examination. The Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination consists of 160 multiple-choice questions (140 scored items and 20 pretest items) distributed among three major content areas: Patient Data Evaluation and Recommendations, Troubleshooting and Quality Control of Equipment and Infection Control, and Initiation and Modification of Interventions. One will be given three hours to complete the TMC Examination. If one is planning to take any of the credentialing examinations, the Self-Assessment Examination provides an excellent opportunity to find out in advance how well one will do. The SAEs are available in web-based format and more information can be found by clicking the Self-Assessment Examination Quick Link. Admission Requirements One shall be 18 years of age or older. One shall satisfy ONE of the following educational requirements: One shall be a graduate and have a minimum of an associate degree from a respiratory therapy education program 1) supported or accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC), or 2) accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and graduated on or before November 11, 2009. OR One shall hold the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists (CSRT) RRT credential.
