The CRTO supports all efforts to ensure there is a sufficient number of practitioners to deliver the essential services that RRTs provide, and that this care is provided by qualified and competent Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRTs). Therefore, the CRTO continues to make every effort to register all applicants as quickly as possible, while at the same time ensuring that the public of Ontario receives high-quality, safe, competent, and ethical care from RRTs.
