Respiratory Therapy - Karen Kain

Karen Kain is the Muskegon Community College's Respiratory Therapy Offsite Adjunct Instructor located in Traverse City at Munson Hospital.  Karen handles all aspects of the program from this location.  The hospital maintains a Respiratory Therapy Classroom on the lower level near the RT Department, and Karen's office adjoins to it. 

 Karen graduated from Indiana University in 1980 with an Associate degree in Respiratory Therapy.  In 1994 she earned a Bachelor's in Science in Allied Health Education from Ferris State University.   In 1997 she earned a Masters in Science in Career and Technical Education from Ferris State University, and then in 2005 a Total Quality Management Certificate from FSU.  She is currently working on a PhD in Educational Leadership from Western Michigan University.

The Munson classroom has a live interactive view of the Respiratory Therapy classroom on the campus of Muskegon Community College.  The students can view the instructor, the power point presentations, and the on-campus students via 3 monitors.  Classroom tests, class interaction and discussions, and handouts are all as if the student is actually in the classroom in Muskegon.  In some courses, the lecture is delivered by the Munson physicians or staff, and the Muskegon students then "watch TV" by the live audio and video feed.
