FORGE ACADEMYTHE FORGE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMBUILT BY AN EDUCATOR. FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
Give respiratory therapy students a place to connect what they know with what they do—and give faculty the evidence to guide what comes next.
ONE CONNECTED TEACHING APPROACH
Start with a concept. Put it into a patient situation. Review the reasoning, then choose a focused next step. FORGE brings learning and faculty review into the same conversation.
Interactive lessons, assignments, unit reviews and five 160-question NBRC-style practice forms. Review completed work, inspect missed decisions and assign focused follow-up.
Patient encounters built around assessment, treatment choices, response and reassessment. Make a decision and examine the reasoning behind the next one.
Use the recorded demonstration to explore the encounter experience. Faculty evaluation confirms the available case and reporting scope.
Watch the clinical demonstration ↓Explore patient–ventilator interactions, settings, respiratory mechanics and a visual lung model. Connect a change at the controls with a change in the patient model.
Organize standards and supporting evidence, review readiness gaps and track action plans. Prepare faculty and reviewers to find the evidence that matters.
A separate program workspace. Request an evaluation to review the workflow with fictional records.
Program Ready sign in →THE FACULTY WORKFLOW
Choose a lesson or exam and define who needs the work.
Review completed results and the decisions behind them.
Use the evidence to select focused teaching and separate reassessment.
Fictional learner and case records are used in demonstrations. Automatic import of live RT FORGE case results into Academy remains unconnected. Simulator activity is not a validated competency score.

CONNECT THE READING TO THE REASONING
The proposed education package includes licensed digital copies of THINK LIKE AN RT. The companion faculty resources include eight unit-based QTI question banks—not just eight quizzes.
Students may retain their licensed PDF after graduation. Printed copies are available separately.

Begin with a complimentary 30-day faculty evaluation for up to three named faculty or administrators, using fictional demonstration data. No purchase obligation or automatic billing.
For one named cohort, up to 40 students and four faculty. Access dates cover the agreed cohort term, including any agreed exam-review period.
Academy, clinical cases, ventilator and lung tools, and a licensed PDF book allocation.
One Academy cohort plus the first year of RT Program Ready, up to 40 students and four faculty or staff.
Additional Academy cohorts are $1,500 each. Program Ready is shared by the program at $1,000 per year.
For one program workspace and up to four named staff, covering all cohorts in that program.
Program evidence organization, review workflows and action planning.
Institutional pricing in USD, subject to an accepted order and applicable tax. Academy is per named cohort, not per year; Program Ready is annual per program. Two concurrent Academy cohorts plus one Program Ready workspace cost $4,000 initially. Cohorts above 40 students, additional staff or campuses require a quote. No separate student platform fee within capacity.
Begin with links from your course to Academy and evaluate the available QTI question banks for import. Students sign into Academy and faculty review detailed results there. Full LTI 1.3 launch, automatic grade return and roster synchronization are not currently represented as implemented; integrations require separate scope and testing with your institution.
Review the agreed goals together, then choose whether to continue. A proposed 60-day classroom pilot supports up to 25 students and three faculty: $500 for Academy or $750 including Program Ready. Pilot credit and annual renewal terms are described in the evaluation form.
The proposed scope includes one remote onboarding session, help with initial setup and business-hours email support. Confirm hours, access, any required privacy arrangements and the evaluation plan before activation. Custom work and institutional integrations are quoted separately.
