Cummings became director of LCC's new respiratory therapy program June 15. Since then he's been readying himself and the program for year No. 1. He said 20 people have enrolled in the new curricu lum at the school. Respiratory therapy classes will be held at the Labette County Medical Center. The 37-vear-old rummines taught respiratory therapy at Weber State College in Ogden Utah, for 10 years before coming to Parsons. He was ready to move on to bigger and better things when he left Ogden, he said. "1 was to the point where I really didn't see a future there anymore," he said. "I was ready to be the boas." He has been setting up the respiratory program since he moved fo Parsons, he said. "What I did basically was to bring my curriculum from Weber and adapted it to here," ne said. Cummings has designed the courses so that the students can try for their certification as respiratory - technicians after one year of school. After the second year, students can receive an asso tate of applied science degree in respiratory therapy. This enables them to meet the registry eligibility require ments for therapists. Cummings is quick, to point out that respiratory therapy is a fast-growing field, in rural and small town areas like southeast Kansas. "In the rural areas," he. said, "there's a huge demand for trained .Respiratory thera pists. That's why he believes the program at LCC will catch on, he said. Area hospitals are coopera ting with LCC to get the program started. At times, the students will be placed in the hoapitals for training, said Cummings, who has a wife and two sons. Cummings has a master's degree in education and a bachelor's degree in history and zoology. He received much of his respiratory thera py training at a hospital-baaed training program in Kansas City, M. He hopes the new respira tory therapy classes soon wfll be moved from Labette Coun ty Medical Center to Labette Community College. He also has visions of when the program can increase the number of instructors to ac comodate more students. But, he added, that wS have to wait until the school can get the money to do h. About 36 people applied for toe course. Several of them changed their minds and others are going to eater the program next year, he said. He ended up with exactly amount allowable in a respira tory program with one in structor, be said. "I was quite pleased," | UGHT BULBS LAST !
