Leadership Series for AARC Members
No matter your location, we believe all respiratory therapists are leaders. To help all AARC members further develop their professional skills, the AARC provides this non-CRCE education series: Leadership Grand Rounds.
These one-hour virtual sessions take place on the third Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m. Central. Leadership Grand Rounds are provided exclusively to AARC members, and the registration is free. Topics address a wide range of leadership issues. The speakers will provide participants with the knowledge to increase leadership skills and competencies.
Attendees will be able to use the chat feature to ask questions during the session and the recording and any provided ancillary materials provided by the speaker(s) will be housed in the AARC Leadership Grand Rounds Connect Community file.
