Greetings Colleagues,
This blog is an simply an awareness that the State of Texas has now followed Indiana and Michigan with movement to de-license or as the Texas Sunset Committee states in their May report "discontinue" the Respiratory Care Practitioner licensure in the state of Texas. While we are reaching out to colleagues on several Social Media venues, we are utilizing the Texas Society Respiratory Care FB page as the main venue for discussion and updates. The AARC and TSRC are collaboratively working together with this announcement which just occurred during our annual State Meeting on Thursday, May 29th,2014. Our main focus is rapidly getting out the word to our colleagues and more information will certainly be forthcoming in the next few days. We need unity on this professional announcement, so please visit our TSRC Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Texas-Society-Respiratory-Care/266592156808601. The Texas RCP's are most grateful for your involvement.
