Opportunities in Respiratory Therapy
As a Respiratory Therapist at UT Southwestern, you’ll discover opportunities that put you on the leading edge of your chosen field – extending your impact and options beyond trauma and COPD cases to include cystic fibrosis and lung, heart, kidney, and liver transplant patients as well. The experience will enlighten and challenge you like no other and raise your sense of accomplishment to a new level every day.
Working with our transplant patients, you’ll have remarkable opportunities to deliver care before, during, and after transplant – along with ongoing opportunities to study or participate in clinical trials exploring advances in respiratory care.
At the same time, you’ll enjoy a supportive, family atmosphere where your contributions will be respected and recognized. You’ll also have consistent opportunities for learning and advancement into leadership roles, and – of course – you’ll participate in UT Southwestern’s incredible benefits package.
