It was only in 1990 when the Bachelor'’s Degree of Respiratory Therapy was first offered as a course in Emilio Aguinaldo College. The college offers comprehensive lectures, computer-aided instructions, clinical simulations and practice of respiratory care in classrooms as well as clinical exposures in hospitals like Medical Center Manila and other affiliated hospitals.
