This image is in support of the misunderstood activity in the teacher for learning module. It illustrates the role of the firefighter, used as a metaphor for respiratory therapists (RRTs) and their role in healthcare. As noted in the teacher for learning module, they are a crucial to support of the community helping putting out fires, providing emergency care and stepping into play but also work collaboratively with other first responders noted here in this picture to ensure efficient support is provided as noted by the support by all parties in the photo. As noted in my teacher for learning response:
“RRT’s play a vital role in acute respiratory care to patients, given their immediate support of patients who may be in distress or have airway or ventilation emergency. The role and support of patients requires knowledge, technical and analytical skill and understanding, effective communication and collaboration with teams to ensure optimal care from patients.”
This photo, and the analogy aforementioned, helps illustrate that RRTs, like firefighters in this disaster response drill, are a unique but vital player within the healthcare landscape providing specific care to patients within both the acute, primary and homecare settings and that the are part of a profession that has both autonomous and collaborative elements and given the ever-changing landscape of healthcare, requires a pathway and approach to working that involves continually learning, professionalism and development for students and future practicing respiratory therapists.

The image in question does incorporate some diversity and inclusion in the variety of gender, age groups and variation in background of the first responders but is limited in the physical ability perspective of diversity and inclusion.
