In Respiratory Care, we provide therapy services throughout the medical center with an emphasis on critical care. We treat and manage patients with diseases and disorders of the cardiopulmonary systems. Our therapists are trained to work in special care units such as adult, neonatal and pediatric ICUs utilizing leading-edge practices in ventilator management, specialty gases administration and aerosolized medicines. Since Rush is an academic medical center, our staff works with all types of patients and equipment not typically found in general hospital settings. We round with physicians and other members of the care team on a daily basis in the ICU units. We offer a collaborative, “train the trainer” approach with a practitioner-educator based culture. It’s an opportunity to work side-by-side with some of the most advanced professionals in an environment filled with growth.
