Step into a transformative role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Middlebury, Vermont, where your expertise fuels better breathing, clearer recovery, and more confident, collaborative care. As a dedicated RT, you will partner with physicians, nurses, and interdisciplinary teams to tailor respiratory interventions for adults and specialty populations, from acute inpatient units to pulmonary rehab pathways. You’ll assess, plan, implement, and evaluate airway support, ventilation strategies, oxygen therapy, humidification, and weaning protocols, while using ABG analysis, spirometry, and patient education to guide treatment. Your clinical judgment will drive optimal outcomes, with opportunities to lead rounds, mentor newer therapists, and participate in quality improvement initiatives. This is more than a job—it's a chance to impact lives by restoring breath, mobility, and independence, everyday.
