What I'm looking for
I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist with a strong commitment to optimizing patient care through effective respiratory therapies. Currently, I work at Baylor University Medical Center, where I set up various respiratory therapies in critical care units, ensuring patient safety and treatment efficacy. My role involves engaging in interdisciplinary team meetings to discuss patient progress and implementing quality assurance measures to evaluate the effectiveness of respiratory treatments.
Previously, I served as a Laboratory Assistant II at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, where I maintained accurate records of specimen collection and facilitated communication between core lab and physicians to enhance patient care outcomes.
