Boise State Respiratory
Care Students Sweep Prestigious Fellowships
The 2005 Respironics Fellowship in Mechanical Ventilation, given annually
by the American Association for Respiratory Care, was awarded to six Boise
State students. The award is normally presented to one person or research
team by a committee that looks at entries from across the globe. This year
the committee was so impressed by six Boise State entries that for the
first time ever it named all six students co-recipients of the fellowship.
Entries considered for the award were from high-quality abstracts accepted
for presentation at the AARC 2005 International Respiratory Congress, to
be held Dec. 3-6 in San Antonio, Texas. The students will receive a
stipend to present their research at the conference. The fellowship was
initiated in 1993 with a grant from Respironics Inc., a major manufacturer
of non-invasive ventilator technology.
