A professional is characterized as an individual conforming to the technical and ethical standards of a profession. Respiratory therapists demonstrate their professionalism by maintaining the highest practice standards, by engaging in ongoing learning, by conducting research to advance the quality of respiratory care, and by participating in organized activities through professional societies such as the American Association for Respiratory Care and associated state societies. Box 2-3 lists the professional attributes of a respiratory therapist.
