Join an intimate, high-end private practice where you aren't just a staff member—you are a clinical partner.

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
What We're Looking For
- Must have a valid NYS Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) license
- Someone with a warm, professional demeanor who can make patients feel at ease
- Ability to manage the lab and patient education with minimal supervision
- Comfortable with EMR documentation and modern diagnostic software
What We Offer
- Salary: Starting at $50/hr
