The director of respiratory therapy with UWF’s Usha Kundu MD College of Health’s Health Sciences and Administration Department has been awarded a highly sought-after “Fellow” title by the American College of Chest Physicians. Only approximately 125 members are given Fellow status each year nationwide.

She is working with the dean of the Usha Kundu MD College of Health to design one of the country’s first specialized bachelor’s degrees in respiratory therapy, which is expected to launch in Fall of 2025.
