Highly skilled Respiratory Therapist with broad experience in managing patients with diverse respiratory diseases. Strengths include comprehensive knowledge of respiratory care procedures, adeptness in patient assessment and ventilation management, and ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams. Previous roles reflect significant contributions towards improving patient outcomes through delivery of quality respiratory care.
Extensive work with robotic bronchoscopies with multiple pulmonologists. I have been doing these bronchoscopies for over five years and have a great relationship with many doctors and nurses throughout the hospital. The ability to effectively communicate with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals.
I want to transition out of acute patient care into a sales rep job to fully utilize my skill set. I am willing to learn the sales side of the job, but I bring a wealth of knowledge on the clinical side and how to implement your disease management plans and how to effectively communicate this to patients as well as physicians to further the growth of your company as well as my career.
