NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital – Allen Hospital
5141 Broadway, New York, NY 10034

 

Join NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and bring your expertise to a role that highlights outpatient respiratory care and Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT). At NYP, we’re known for innovation—from pioneering nitric oxide programs to advancing ventilatory techniques—but we also lead the way in diagnostic respiratory services that support early detection, disease management, and improved patient outcomes in the outpatient setting.

 

This is a unique opportunity for a Respiratory Therapist who enjoys a clinic-based environment, consistent daytime hours, and a strong focus on Pulmonary Function Testing—while maintaining exposure to broader respiratory care as needed.

 

Under the direction of a licensed physician, the Respiratory Therapist will primarily support outpatient Pulmonary Function Testing services, performing and ensuring high-quality diagnostic evaluations in a patient-focused environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Perform Pulmonary Function Testing (PFTs) such as spirometry, lung volumes, and diffusion capacity testing with accuracy and attention to quality standards
• Educate patients on testing procedures and ensure a comfortable outpatient experience
• Collaborate with pulmonologists and care teams to support diagnostic interpretation and care planning
• Maintain equipment calibration, quality control, and adherence to regulatory standards
• Document and communicate results clearly and effectively

 

In addition, the therapist may perform select respiratory therapies and procedures across inpatient areas, supporting overall departmental operations as needed.

 

Schedule

This is a per diem position requiring minimum of 2 days (15 hours) per month, and 1 weekend shift per quarter. Availability to work weekdays and/or weekend days as needed.

 

Preferred Criteria

• Experience in Pulmonary Function Testing or outpatient respiratory services.
• 1–2 years of hospital-based or ambulatory care experience.
• Pediatric experience a plus.
• RRT and/or CRT certification from the National Board for Respiratory Care.

 

Required Criteria

• Associate’s degree in Applied Science (Respiratory Therapy).
• Current New York State Respiratory Therapist License.
• Current Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) Certification.

 

At NewYork-Presbyterian, our respiratory therapists don’t just deliver care—they shape the future of it. If you’re looking for a role that emphasizes precision diagnostics, outpatient care, and meaningful patient interaction, we invite you to join us.

Join a healthcare system where employee engagement is at an all-time high. Here we foster a culture of respect, belonging, and inclusion. Enjoy comprehensive and competitive benefits that support you and your family in every aspect of life. Start your life-changing journey today.
