Year of the Lung + RC Week = A Great Way to Show Your Professional Pride
What can you do to mark the Year of the Lung in October? Well, we think there is only one good answer to that question. Celebrate National Respiratory Care Week! Click on the link for some great ideas on how to tie this international event in with our national week of professional pride.
Speaking of RC Week: Only 2 Weeks to Go!
But there is plenty of time for last minute planning. Check out the AARC
RC Week pages for activity ideas and resources. Visit the AARC Online
Store for gifts and educational materials, including official t-shirts,
banners, posters and table tents. Orders placed in the next few days can
still arrive in time for RC Week. Complete order details/options are shown
online—use your credit card, check or purchase order. Enjoy the celebration
of your profession on Oct. 24–30, 2010!
Oct. 20 Webcast Moved to Oct. 27
Due to scheduling conflicts, the webcast on “Blood Gases: When Do We Really Need Them?” slated for Wed., Oct. 20 has been moved to Wed., Oct. 27. If you already registered for the event, you’ll receive a notification about the change. If you haven’t registered yet, plan now to be on hand to hear Bill Malley discuss situations in which blood gas sampling is over- and under-utilized, go over clinical indications for the test, and describe optimal use of protocols/algorithms that promote best practice.
Have
You Gotten Your 10?
Our goal is for each AARC member to screen 10 friends or family in the
Drive4COPD campaign. We've made it easy for you to reach out with an online
contact form. Do it today in order to boost your state's standing in the
contest.
Members of the Military Receive FREE Congress Registration
