About the role
Join an intimate, high-end private practice where you aren’t just a staff member—you are a clinical partner. Working directly with our Pulmonologist, you will have the time and resources to provide personalized care to a dedicated patient base. This role is ideal for an RT who thrives on continuity of care and wants to escape the “treadmill” of hospital rotations.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate 1-on-1 with the Pulmonologist to develop and adjust individualized treatment plans for patients with asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis
- Manage the practice’s PFT lab, ensuring high-quality data for spirometry, lung volumes, and diffusion studies
- Act as the primary point of contact for patient inquiries regarding their respiratory health, medications, and home equipment
- Assist in-office with specialized procedures and coordinate with home health vendors for oxygen and PAP therapy setup
- Manage the scheduling and flow of respiratory-specific appointments to ensure a seamless patient experience
Why this role is different
- Your clinical observations directly influence the physician’s care decisions in real-time
- No nights, no weekends, and no “on-call” shifts
- You will see the same patients over months and years, witnessing their progress firsthand
- Take ownership of the pulmonary lab and respiratory education programs within the practice
Requirements
- Must have a valid NYS Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) license
- Someone with a warm, professional demeanor who can make patients feel at ease
