The AARC supports the globalization of respiratory care every year through a program that brings health care professionals from abroad to our shores to tour respiratory care facilities in two cities before attending the International Respiratory Convention & Exhibition.

The AARC is proud to announce its 2013 class of International Fellows and the cities that will be hosting them this fall:

• Lysbeth Roldan, RT, Colombia—Baltimore, MD, and Rochester, MN
