Upon receiving this credential, these individuals have the competencies to provide comprehensive, evidence-informed care in asthma and COPD.
This course is approved for delivery by Canadian Network for Respiratory Care and offered in collaboration with SAIT, a global leader in post-secondary education.
The STAR course really filled the gap of missing knowledge about sleep, its diagnostic measures and its application in day-to-day interactions with patients. Even the specific knowledge about PSG now I think it “makes sense” to have although I am not actually working as a PSGT. I can’t speak on behalf of people that work for SFL, but in my opinion, this course is great for them too as they are our frontline troops. Before I attended the course, I merely thought we are doing this only because we need to as a requirement from CSPA. Now, I do think that we do need the knowledge.
