Meet Respiratory Coach Joe Lewis, MSRC, RRT
Navigating through RT school can feel like climbing a mountain. I remember the late-night study sessions, confusing formulas, and the disconnect between classroom theory and clinical practice.
With 23 years as a registered respiratory therapist and 13 years as an educator, I’ve been where you are.
My mission is to simplify the complex and guide you through the maze of information, so you not only succeed in your exams but also feel confident stepping into your career.

How I Became a Global Resource for RT Students
Respiratory Coach began as a simple effort by Joe Lewis to help his students succeed. In 2018, he started posting videos on YouTube, aiming to clarify challenging topics for his class. What Joe didn’t anticipate was the global need for the same information. Within a year, the channel reached over 1,000 subscribers, and today it’s on track to hit 100,000. As the community grew, so did their requests for more focused resources. Joe responded by launching the TMC Boot Camp and CSE Boot Camp, along with mini-courses on complex subjects like pharmacology, anatomy, formulas, and arterial blood gases; all designed to help RT students successfully navigate the common struggles of RT school. The incredible support from the Respiratory Coach community motivates Joe to continue creating valuable content and connecting with students at every opportunity.
