Registered Respiratory Therapist II
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. The posting includes: Job Description Summary (we can treat as About the role). Responsibilities: Key Responsibilities section with bullet points. Qualifications: Education, Experience, Licensure/Certification. Skills: list of skills. Working Conditions: maybe not a standard heading; we could include under Requirements? But we have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting does not mention Benefits, Pay, Schedule specifics (except Scheduled Weekly Hours 36, Work Shift maybe unspecified). There's "Scheduled Weekly Hours 36" and "Work Shift" but no detail. Pay Rate Type Hourly, Pay Grade Health-28. That is pay info. So we can include Pay section with that info. Schedule: we have Scheduled Weekly Hours 36, maybe shift info not given; but we could include Schedule with that info. Benefits: not mentioned. So omit Benefits.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use for each section.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to include metadata like Worker Type, Cost Center etc? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short
for metadata like Entity, Worker Type, Cost Center, Pay Rate Type, Pay Grade, Scheduled Weekly Hours, etc. But we already have Pay and Schedule sections. Could put metadata in a short
before sections.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract substantive content:
- About the role: The Respiratory Therapist at MUSC Midlands provides advanced respiratory care to patients with a variety of respiratory conditions. This role involves performing diagnostic tests, administering treatments, and working closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to develop and implement patient care plans. The Respiratory Therapist ensures the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based care to patients of all ages.
That's the summary.
- Responsibilities: list bullet points from Key Responsibilities:
Patient Assessment and Care:
- Conduct thorough assessments of patients' respiratory conditions through physical examinations and diagnostic tests.
- Develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on patient assessments and physician directives.

- Monitor and adjust ventilator settings and other respiratory support devices as needed.
Diagnostic Testing:
- Perform pulmonary function tests to assess lung capacity and efficiency.
- Conduct arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis to evaluate oxygenation and acid-base balance.
- Utilize advanced diagnostic equipment to identify and monitor respiratory disorders.
Emergency and Critical Care:
- Provide respiratory support in emergency situations, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced airway management.
- Participate in the care of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), ensuring optimal respiratory function and support.
- Assist in the transport of critically ill patients, maintaining stability during transfers.
Education and Training:
- Educate patients and their families on respiratory care techniques, equipment usage, and disease management.

- Stay current with the latest advancements in respiratory care through continuing education and professional development.
Compliance and Safety:
- Adhere to all MUSC Midlands policies and procedures, as well as state and federal regulations related to respiratory care.
- Follow infection control protocols to maintain a safe and hygienic environment for patients and staff.
- Ensure proper maintenance and calibration of respiratory equipment.
- Qualifications: Education, Experience, Licensure/Certification.
Education: Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Respiratory Therapy from an accredited program.
Experience: Minimum of 1 year of experience as a Respiratory Therapist in a clinical setting. Experience in critical care or emergency care settings is preferred.
Licensure/Certification: Current state licensure as a Respiratory Therapist. Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential required. Basic Life Support (BLS) certification required. Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) certification required. PALS is required during Clinical Orientation.
Additional Job Description (maybe duplicate) includes: Graduate of an NRBC approved Respiratory Therapy program. Associate degree in Respiratory Care from a CoARC accredited program required. Experience: A minimum of 1 year of acute respiratory therapy experience required. Licensure/Certification: Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC), South Carolina Respiratory Care License. Current American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) certification or American Red Cross BLS for Healthcare Providers certification is required. ACLS required (Adult), PALS and NRP required (Pediatrics), AARC membership preferred.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. So we should combine but not duplicate. We'll list qualifications as bullet points under Requirements or Qualifications? The headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Usually Requirements includes education/experience/licensure. Qualifications maybe similar. But we can follow instruction: Use headings as given. We'll decide to put education/experience/licensure under Requirements. Skills under Skills. Qualifications maybe we can include additional specifics like NRBC approved program etc. But to avoid duplication, we can combine.
Better: Use Requirements for education/experience/licensure. Use Skills for skills list. Use Qualifications maybe for additional specifics like NRBC approved program etc. But we risk thin sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine education/experience/licensure into Requirements, and skills into Skills, and omit Qualifications if redundant. However we have details like "Associate degree in Respiratory Care from a CoARC accredited program required." That's still education. So we can include in Requirements.
Thus sections: About the role (maybe we can call it About the role or just use a
for summary). But instruction: use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should have headings for each section we include.
Thus we will have:
About the role
...summary...
Responsibilities
...
Requirements

Skills

Pay
Pay Rate Type: Hourly; Pay Grade: Health-28.
Schedule
Scheduled Weekly Hours: 36; Work Shift: rotating shifts, including possible evenings, weekends, and holidays may be required.
We need to extract schedule info from Working Conditions: Rotating shifts, including possible evenings, weekends, and holidays, may be required. Also Scheduled Weekly Hours 36.
Thus schedule section.
We must not include Benefits.
Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: also mention Worker Type Employee, Worker Sub-Type Regular, Cost Center CC003723 COL - Respiratory Therapy (DMC). That's minor metadata; we can fold into a short maybe before sections. But we could also drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short
with that metadata.
Let's craft:
Entity: Medical University Hospital Authority (MUHA); Worker Type: Employee; Worker Sub-Type: Regular; Cost Center: CC003723 COL - Respiratory Therapy (DMC).
Now sections.
Responsibilities: need to preserve all bullet points exactly as given. We'll list them.
Requirements: list education, experience, licensure/certification.
Education bullet: Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Respiratory Therapy from an accredited program. Also mention Graduate of an NRBC approved Respiratory Therapy program. Associate degree in Respiratory Care from a CoARC accredited program required. We'll combine: Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Respiratory Therapy from an accredited program; Graduate of an NRBC approved Respiratory Therapy program; Associate degree in Respiratory Care from a CoARC accredited program required.
Experience bullet: Minimum of 1 year of experience as a Respiratory Therapist in a clinical setting; Experience in critical care or emergency care settings is preferred; A minimum of 1 year of acute respiratory therapy experience required.
Licensure/Certification bullet: Current state licensure as a Respiratory Therapist; Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential required; Basic Life Support (BLS) certification required; Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) certification required; PALS required during Clinical Orientation; Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC), South Carolina Respiratory Care License; Current American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) certification or American Red Cross BLS for Healthcare Providers certification is required; ACLS required (Adult), PALS and NRP required (Pediatrics), AARC membership preferred.
We need to avoid duplication but preserve all. We'll combine unique items.
Skills: list from Skills section:
- Strong clinical skills and knowledge of respiratory care procedures and equipment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-stress environment.
- Strong organizational and time-management abilities.
Also from Working Conditions physical requirements list many abilities; those are not skills but working conditions. Could we include them under Requirements? They are physical requirements. Might be considered part of Requirements. But we have no specific heading for Working Conditions. Could we add a section? Not in allowed headings list. But we could incorporate them into Requirements as bullet points? Might be too many. However we need to preserve all substantive information. The physical requirements are substantive. We could include them under Requirements as bullet points. Or we could create a separate section but not allowed headings. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for those categories. It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That implies we should use those headings for those categories if present. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but better to stick to those. Physical requirements could be part of Requirements.
Thus we will include physical requirements under Requirements as bullet points.
Let's list them concisely but preserve all detail. That's many items. We'll need to include each ability with its frequency in parentheses as given. That's a lot but we must preserve all substantive information. We'll include them as
- items.
We'll need to be careful not to miss any.
