Respiratory Care Tech

Our patients breathe easy when it comes to respiratory care. See what we did there? Our Respiratory Care Techs play an important role in assisting our Respiratory Therapists. Assisting in the care of our patients to ensure they are getting the best care is a huge role in what you will do. This is a great start to what you will be doing in the future as you continue to make your way through the Respiratory program!

Every day you will assess respiratory status, implement treatment plans (oxygen, ventilation, airway management), and educate patients/families. You'll document interventions and collaborate with physicians and medical staff. To be successful, you will demonstrate strong clinical skills, critical thinking, and equipment proficiency. Excellent communication for patient interaction and interdisciplinary collaboration, plus a commitment to safety and continuous development, are essential.
