Welcome to the College of Respiratory Therapists of Ontario
The College of Respiratory Therapists of Ontario (CRTO) regulates the profession of respiratory therapy in 
Ontario. The CRTO is one of 25 self-governing health Colleges established by law. It is not a teaching institution.
The CRTO is dedicated to supporting Respiratory Therapists in their delivery of high quality, safe and ethical care to the public of Ontario.
One of the ways of ensuring these high standards of care is by establishing standards and guidelines for Respiratory Therapy. The CRTO aims to ensure that anyone using the title "Registered Respiratory Therapist" (RRT) is registered with the College.
