Not really. Although physicians are very much dependent on what respiratory therapists have to say about the treatment and care of patients because of their direct and continuous contact with patients. You can become a respiratory therapist with an associates or bachelor's degree. Many however continue their education to the masters and doctorate levels in related fields.
