About the Role

As a Respiratory Therapist at UAB Medicine, you will work alongside some of the brightest minds in medicine to deliver the latest evidence-based treatments, including high-frequency ventilation (HFV) and nitric oxide therapy. In this neonatal environment, you will be treating some of the sickest babies in our region.

Our Respiratory Therapists go beyond simply monitoring ventilators and administering breathing treatments. As a member of our team, you will autonomously manage ventilator protocols, using your skills to meet patient needs while weaning them off of mechanical respiratory support. You will evaluate and administer therapeutic and diagnostic respiratory care and life support to patients with breathing or other cardiopulmonary disorders, consulting with physicians concerning the development and modification of patient care plans.
