EDUCATION

Making A Difference For The Next Generation Of Students

Since 1981, we have been supporting Thompson Rivers University Respiratory Therapy Program in Kamloops, which offers the only professional development program in the province to train Respiratory Therapists.

There is a constant need for Respiratory Therapists in British Columbia and the TB Vets bursary program supports the next generation for respiratory therapists. Education can change a person’s life. TB Vets gifts to student awards ensures that no student is denied a quality education due to an inability to pay.

“Giving Respiratory Therapy (RT) students the chance to practice on SIM babies and adults or with the many different respirators they will encounter in hospitals across BC means safety for patients and that is always the goal.”
Heather NoyesProfessor, Academic Coordinator, Faculty of Science
“As a respiratory therapy student we are taught to make breathing of our patients a little bit easier, whether it is administering a medication or simply listening to their story. We are able to make a difference. With the generous TB Vets bursary, you’ve made it possible for me to continue focusing on my studies and allowed me to breathe a little bit easier myself.”
Paige HowesTRU Student
“As a young student in 1998 at Thompson Rivers University, I was awarded a bursary from TB Vets to help pay for some of my tuition towards my RT training. It really helped at a time when I needed the financial assistance. This support helped make me the conscientious RT that I am today.”
