Licenses, application pathways and examination requirements

Each license and applicant pathway has its own requirements and exemptions. Choosing practice questions does not determine your eligibility.

Respiratory Care Practitioner

Montana respiratory care license administered by the Board of Allied Health Care Professionals. ARM 24.213.415 inactive status and ARM 24.213.402 were repealed in the adopted 2024 notice. Pulmonary-function testing authorization is a scope-of-practice provision, not a separately issued license. Short statute files were inspected and contain their actual provisions.

Licensing authority: Montana Board of Allied Health Care Professionals / Department of Labor and Industry · Application information

Licensure by endorsement or reciprocity
Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination
Application

Examination
Provide evidence of passing the NBRC entry-level respiratory therapy certification examination; passage before applying remains an examination requirement.
