KEVIN T. MARTIN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Popular California educator Kevin T. Martin, BVE, RRT, RCP began his Respiratory
career in 1976. His life was cut short in October of 1997 when he was killed in
a motorcycle accident on his way home from working a shift at San Antonio
Community Hospital in Upland, CA, leaving behind years of sharing his education
and experience, and his dedication to the advancement of the Respiratory Care
profession.
An advocate for the respiratory profession, Kevin frequently
lobbied legislators about respiratory care issues and was often called a “watch
dog” according to his coworkers. During his career as a Respiratory Care
Practitioner, Kevin worked and taught at various hospitals and institutions
throughout the Southern California area.
He was so dedicated in promoting the profession, that in 1982,
he started RC Educational Consulting Services, Inc. (RCECS) providing continuing
education home study courses, as a way to share his knowledge and education with
others. In 2001, RCECS, in cooperation with the California Society For Respiratory
Care, has established the Kevin T. Martin Memorial Scholarship fund in his honor
to assist second year Respiratory students.
