Welcome to the Respiratory Care Board's Web Site
The DCA is in the process of replacing current online licensing systems with the new BreEZe licensing and enforcement system. The Online Professional Licensing system will be unavailable to licensees for a period of time. If you have a renewal you would like to pay with a credit card (which may only be done online), please proceed with your renewal at your earliest convenience in order to avoid any processing delays. We will update the information on this page as we receive specific dates of when the system will be unavailable and the dates the new online system will be available to licensees and consumers.
The mandate of the Respiratory Care Board is to protect and serve the consumer by administering and enforcing the Respiratory Care Practice Act and its regulations in the interest of the safe practice of respiratory care. Licensed Respiratory Care Practitioners (RCPs) regularly perform critical lifesaving and life support procedures prescribed by physicians that directly affect major organs of the body. RCPs provide care directly to the patient in either a hospital setting or the patient's home. Patients may be suffering from lung cancer, emphysema, asthma, or cystic fibrosis, or may be premature infants whose lungs have not yet fully developed. More than 34,000 RCP licenses have been issued in the State of California.
