	Name: Nakia Austin, MAED, RRT, RCP Faculty or Staff Title: Respiratory Therapy Program Head/Instructor Email: naustin@reynolds.edu Phone: 804-523-5009 Office Location: Downtown Campus Room 544 Educational Background: BS in Exercise Science MAED in Adult Education and Training Registered Respiratory Therapist Member of the American Association for Respiratory Care Academic Interests: My academic interest is to improve the distance education component of the respiratory therapy program. Specifically, I am interested in enhancing student interaction with courses within the respiratory curriculum in order to increase student retention of course information. Some of my ideas are to incorporate clinical simulations, modules, and videos in conjunction with the lecture notes and laboratories while touching on the various learning styles of the students. In doing so, I believe students will be able to raise his or her comfort level of being enrolled in a distance learning course.

I have found this rewarding and challenging during the past 30 years at the college. It has always been amazing to me to see students begin with very little to no skill in respiratory therapy when they enter the program and graduate having the necessary skills to care for patients on life support equipment. I have also been involved with the Virginia Society for Respiratory Care for 33 years and have served on various Education committees. I have been a member of the AARC (American Association for Respiratory Care) since 1972. I have been a faculty senator since 2007 and enjoy dealing with the many issues facing faculty at the community college.
