Audit Report

Evaluation of Credentials: In February 2009, the CRTO introduced a new policy that requires all applicants who obtained their education in respiratory therapy (or a related field) outside of Canada to have their academic qualifications verified by World Education Services (WES). WES will authenticate the documents and prepare a course-by-course evaluation report for the CRTO.

For a description of all OFC-monitored developments for this profession for 2009, see the 2009-2010 Annual Report.
