Four years for your undergraduate degree. You should major in one of the following degree programs, Biology, Chemistry or Physiology. You will then need to complete four years in medical school. Finally you will need to do a 3- 7 years residency in your field of interest.

Sarah’s Answer

To become an RT takes about two years, an associate's degree. You can take your certification test to become a CRTT (certified respiratory therapy technician) first then work up to taking your RRT (registered respiratory therapist) certification. Some hospitals even offer an advanced training program that can get you your certificates and associates degree in 15 months, so long as you've taken certain prerequisites; they even pay you while your doing the training. It's very competitive but so worth it. Not many universities have RT programs so you have to look for universities that do. It's a great career!
