Podcast: Respiratory Therapy Introduction


For you students that are just coming into the Respiratory Therapy Program I am experimenting by making a podcast introduction of what you will be experiencing over the next 15 weeks.  This recording is created to help you get a better insight as to what we will be doing together and hopefully help to take the nervous edge off when you get started.  If all goes well, future recordings will be made available that correspond to the day's lecture, this way whatever you feel you might have missed during class, the podcasts will aid in your understanding of the day's topic.




Remember if you have any question please feel free to leave a comment or email me.

  1. Nicely done, Fred. I know from personal experience that creating a podcast can be stressful. I love that you introduce your course to your students in a such a personal way.

    1. Thank you for the kind words, everything within this MET program has been a "new" beginning for me, but I must say I have appreciated the tools I have been exposed to. Have you ever used technology to communicate with your students? I just wonder if the response is worth the effort.

    1. Hi Matthew and thank you! To make this recording I used GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, and the funny thing is I have own this MacBook since 2011 and this was the first time I have ever used it...it's a great tool! Do you own a Mac?

  3. It is a nice to have music leading into your podcast. Very cool. This is a great way to introduce the course. Just listening to you speaking would help me feel more comfortable before coming to class if I were one of your students. Great job!

    1. Thank you! That's exactly what I was shooting for, it's a lot of pressure coming into my class, especially if one has little to no medical background.

  4. This is a great way to help students orient themselves to the course and program. My only suggestion is more of a word of caution to be sure that you also have the transcript of text available as well for reading in case you have a hearing impaired student in the course.

    1. Way a head of you Amy, I did transcribe my introduction for such an occasion. I have learned that as educators, especially if the audience is online, we have to take into consideration what type of learners we may have and that includes learner that may have an some type of an impairment.

  5. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
