➡️ What's the Difference?
Both CRTs and RRTs are highly skilled professionals who provide lifesaving care to patients with cardiopulmonary conditions. They're both licensed and trained to perform the same job duties and are even employed in the same settings. The primary difference between CRTs and RRTs is their level of credentialing. The RRT credential is preferred by many employers because it demonstrates a higher level of knowledge and competence.

➡️ Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT)
A certified respiratory therapist (CRT) is an RT who has obtained the entry-level credential granted by the NBRC. This is the minimum requirement a respiratory therapist needs to apply for a license to practice respiratory care. This credential is obtained by passing the TMC exam with a low-cut score.

➡️ Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT)
A registered respiratory therapist (RRT) is an RT who has obtained the high-level credential granted by the NBRC. This is the highest standard requirement a respiratory therapist needs to apply for a license to practice respiratory care.

➡️ Salary
As previously mentioned, the RRT credential is preferred by most employers because it demonstrates a higher level of knowledge and competence. Therefore, RRTs often earn a higher salary than CRTs.

➡️ Education Requirements
Both CRTs and RRTs must complete an accredited respiratory therapy program to practice respiratory care. Therefore, the education requirements for both credentials are the same.

➡️ Steps to Become a CRT or RRT
The steps for becoming a CRT or RRT are almost the same as well. This includes the following:
