As the October issue of AARC Times heads to your mailbox, the digital edition has already been posted and is ready for viewing. You'll find many articles of interest this time, including our cover story on The National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), which is looking for respiratory therapists for its DMAT teams. You can read all about it beginning on page 62. Those of you going to AARC Congress 2011 in Tampa next month will find an NDMS booth in the Exhibit Hall where you can talk with an NDMS representative.
AARC member and Sleep Disorders Specialist Tara Vander Laan discusses the diagnostic testing, treatment options, and assessment of treatment effectiveness in this month's Sleep Waves column on pages 15-17.
We also want to announce an AARC Times correction. We published an incorrect figure in last month's "Chronic Disease Manager" column by AARC member Diane Rhodes, BBA, RRT, AE-C, the director of the Department of Environmental Health for the North East Independent School District in San Antonio, TX. The corrected figure appears on page 79 of the October issue. View this digital edition at http://mydigimag.rrd.com/publication?i=81287
