About the Team
Join the growing BILH team, where you are not just taking a job, but making a difference in people's lives. The Respiratory Care Department at BIDMC consists of approximately 60 Registered Respiratory Therapists dedicated to the management of mechanical ventilation for the critically ill. Our team provides coverage across nine adult ICUs, an active Emergency Department, the Cath Lab, and acute care floors. We are proud to host several ECMO Specialists and are excited to expand this program with new training opportunities.
BIDMC's affiliation with the Harvard School of Medicine ensures our therapists are intimately involved in mentoring physicians in training and delivering state-of-the-art respiratory care. Our team plays an integral role in various studies currently underway in our intensive care units, fostering a culture of innovation and mentorship.
About the Role
This position operates on a 7pm-7am shift schedule. As a Respiratory Therapist, you will assume primary responsibility for patient care, including examination, evaluation, treatment planning, and the administration of respiratory care procedures in response to physician orders.

Beyond direct patient care, you will serve as a role model for respiratory care students and other members of the healthcare team.
