Minnesota requires respiratory therapists to hold an active state license and current BLS certification. The Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential, earned through the National Board for Respiratory Care, is commonly preferred for cardiology positions. Many cardiology employers also seek ACLS certification given the critical nature of cardiac care. Minnesota still requires an individual state license while the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact operationalizes, so you'll apply for licensure through the state's online portal. The licensing timeline typically takes 2-4 weeks after submission. Beyond these core requirements, some facilities prefer the Certified Pulmonary Function Technologist (CPFT) credential or additional training in echocardiography or cardiac monitoring. Your recruiter can help identify which certifications align with your target facilities' specific preferences.
