      ab: As Respiratory Therapy Educators in the Dalhousie School of Health Sciences we are challenged with preparing students not only for academic success in the program but perhaps more importantly for entry to practice in a demanding health care profession. Therefore, it is essential that we adequately prepare students to successfully challenge the Canadian Board for Respiratory Care (CBRC) examination. The right mix of knowledge acquisition, clinical application, completion of skills competencies and evaluation of progress is imperative in a university degree program that must align itself with a National Competency Profile (NCP). Ultimately our goal is to '... graduate students who will be knowledgeable about the changing health care system and able to work professionally and ethically' [1]. Following is a presentation and discussion of progress to date with an educational initiative in the Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) program.
