Respiratory therapists play a pivotal role in pulmonary and respiratory health, providing patients experiencing breathing problems with care that saves and improves lives. Patients in their care may suffer from a diverse array of health conditions, from the everyday to the extraordinary, like asthma, emphysema, pneumonia, bronchitis, COVID-19, lung cancer, or cystic fibrosis. Whatever the underlying cause, the respiratory therapists’ treatment is no less vital to the patient’s wellbeing and quality of life. 

The Respiratory Therapy, AAS program is offered through a partnership with Prince George’s Community College (PGCC). This is a competitive admissions program.  First consideration will be given to residents of CSM's service area (Calvert, Charles, St. Mary's counties).

Dental assistants perform different types of patient care, office duties, and laboratory duties. On a typical day, a dental assistant who delivers patient care will: make patients as comfortable as possible in the dental chair, prepare them for treatment, and obtain dental records; hand instruments and materials to dentists; sterilize and disinfect instruments and equipment, prepare tray setups for dental procedures, and instruct patients on postoperative and general oral health care; and much more. With further education, students can become Registered Dental Hygienists who clean teeth and examine oral areas.
