1. Must respiratory care technicians (RCTs) be licensed to practce in the CNMI? 2. If RTCs must be licensed in the CNMI, what are the requirements for the license? 3. have atached a copy of the frameworks for the required coursework for students who complete at least 68 hours of training in RCT programs in the state of Mississippi. Students then take the Natonal Board for Respiratory Care exam to gain CRT (or perhaps RRT) certfcaton. Would a student who completed the coursework ofered by RCT programs at community colleges in Mississippi meet the educatonal requirements for licensure, if needed, in the CNMI? Thank you so much for your help with these questons!
