Respiratory TherapyCLINICAL RESOURCE MANUAL
RT binder 2015 revised March.indd 1 3/26/2015 2:33:01 PM
CLINICAL RESOURCE MANUAL FOR RESPIRATORY THERAPY
This manual is intended to be used to track the number of times a student is exposed to a procedure throughout their clinical education experiences.
All the procedures in this Clinical Resource manual are meant to be signed by the preceptor, when the student is shown how to do the skill, and as the student learns to perform the skill with assistance. Signing in this book does not indicate the student is competent; it shows the exposure the student has had prior to signing the Competency-Based Objective (CBO) manual with the final evaluations. The final competencies are signed once the student is able to perform the procedure independently at an entry-to-practice level.
All the procedures in this resource manual are taken from the 2011 Respiratory Therapy National Competency Profile and are deemed to be entry-to-practice by the National Alliance of Respiratory Therapy Regulatory Bodies.
All of the procedures listed herein link to the CBO manual that the student will also bring with them to the clinical fieldwork sites.
The student does not have to do the procedure a specific number of times to become competent, as some procedures take less time to master than others. There may also be less opportunity for exposure to certain skills due to the frequency in which they are performed clinically. The preceptor can make the decision as to when they feel the student is prepared to be evaluated based on the evaluation template contained in the CBO manuals.
The intended purpose of this manual is to track the number of times a student has been exposed to a clinical procedure/skill dur-ing their clinical education courses throughout the program.
Competency skills/procedures listed in the manual can be signed by the preceptor each time the student is observing, attempting with guidance, or independently completing. A signature in this book does not indicate the student has PASSED an evaluation for a listed competency. It is the intention that preceptors can utilize this tool to see how much exposure to a skill/competency the student has had, and to use this information to guide the preceptor’s level of expectation for the student. Example: a student who has been exposed to a skill 2 times may not yet be able to perform that skill independently, and may not be ready for a final evalu-ation. A student with multiple exposures to a skill, should be expected to perform with minimal guidance, and may be ready to be tested to to determine if they pass the competency.
The final competencies are passed only when the student is able to perform the procedure independently at the entry to practice level. A preceptor would then sign the CBO Manual.
The list of skills and procedures in this manual link directly to the 2011 Respiratory Therapy National Competency Profile and are deemed to be entry- to- practice by the National Alliance of Respiratory Therapy Regulatory Bodies.
All of the procedures listed herein link to the CBO manual that the student will also bring with them to the clinical fieldwork sites.
The student is not required to perform a skill or procedure a specific number of times to PASS the competency, as we acknowl-edge some procedures take less time to master than others. We also acknowledge that some skills/procedures may not occur very frequently in clinical practice, and therefore exposures would be limited. The preceptor is asked to use their judgment to determine when a student is prepared to have a final evaluation of a skill/procedure, based on the template contained in the CBO manuals.

Clinical Competency Evaluation Templates
Each CBO contains the Clinical Competency Evaluation Templates which relate to the competencies required to achieve a pass in the relevant course. Students must complete all clinical competency evaluation templates contained in the CBO for each clinical education course.
For further details regarding the policies governing this please refer to the BRT Academic Progression/Supplementary Regulations (available in the Respiratory Therapy Student Handbook).
RT binder 2015 revised March.indd 8 3/26/2015 2:33:02 PM
PRECEPTOR EVALUATIONS
In all courses, preceptors will complete a daily evaluation of the student. These documents are used to track student hours in the course and to provide students with formative feedback throughout the course.
In RESP 1460 (yellow manual) the clinical evaluations completed by preceptors are the daily evaluation. These are provided to the university RT Clinical Coordinator by the clinical site coordinator.
In RESP 2380 (blue manual) the clinical evaluations completed by preceptors are the daily evaluation. These are provided to the university RT Clinical Coordinator by the clinical site coordinator.
In ALL THIRD YEAR CLINICAL COURSES, daily evaluation forms are used by all preceptors; a final evaluation form is completed by the clinical site coordinator once the rotation is completed based on the summative daily evaluations. The final evaluation is shared with the student and signed by the student upon completion of the rotation. All the evaluations are sent back to the University Clinical Coordinator. Any rotation that is longer than 4 weeks will also include a mid-way evaluation form (Adult ICU and Children’s) which will be shared with the student half-way through the rotation. This gives the student time to improve their performance before the final evaluation period. All evaluations need to be signed and dated by the preceptors and the students. Students should be given the feedback necessary to improve performance and areas to work on each day so they can successfully reach their goals.
