REGISTERED RESPIRATORY THERAPIST

I am eagerly looking forward to working as a Respiratory Therapist amongst a team of Therapists, Nurses, Pulmonologists, and Intensivists at a great medical center/company. Having worked at several medical institutions in the U.S., Canada and the Middle East for many years, I would like to use my specialized skills and knowledge by getting associated with a reputable medical institute. I consider myself to be a committed professional who is willing to work in a fast moving environment that will provide new challenges and opportunities to advance my career. I am a good coordinator and enjoy networking with others as well as working on an individual level when necessary. I am prepared to explore all divisions to allow myself to perform to the best of my ability including the Sleep Disorder division. I also have had the opportunity to join and work in the Anesthesiology department, Operating Theaters, and have handled the management of previous RT departments, instructed and trained Staffs and students for several years. Moreover, I want to apply my clinical and managerial skills and experience for the betterment of people in the future.
