Going for gold
Fanshawe’s Respiratory Therapy program recognized with a national award for program excellence.
In 2021, Fanshawe’s Respiratory Therapy advanced diploma program received a national honour from Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan).
The CICan Awards of Excellence recognize best practices from institutions across the country. The Respiratory Therapy program was recognized as the gold award winner in the Program Excellence category.
The Respiratory Therapy program is a credential that is in demand all over Canada. Launched in 1969, it is one of the oldest and largest respiratory therapy programs in the country. Students learn in the classroom, simulation labs and clinical placements, and are taught by skilled and dedicated professors who ensure they learn the tools and techniques to be successful in their careers.

The program stands apart because of the quality of education, unique learning experiences for students and the dedication of faculty members.
“I think the key difference that made us the gold recipient is the dedication, passion and creativity of our faculty team,” says Julie Brown, coordinator of the Respiratory Therapy program. “We lead by example and pride ourselves on graduating well-rounded professionals.”
The team was honoured to receive this impressive accolade, and Julie says they won’t be slowing down anytime soon.
“We’re going to continue to strive to make our program the best respiratory therapy program in Canada.”
