UVA Health

Critical Care Expertise. Academic Medicine. Care That Changes Outcomes.
Respiratory Therapists at UVA Health are essential clinical partners in the care of patients with complex cardiopulmonary needs. This role offers the opportunity to practice at a high level in a nationally recognized academic medical center where respiratory expertise directly influences patient stability, recovery, and survival.
Where Advanced Respiratory Care Meets Purpose
Respiratory therapy is a discipline that demands technical mastery, clinical judgment, and calm under pressure. At UVA Health, Respiratory Therapists work in an environment that respects that expertise- supporting patients across acute, critical, and specialty care settings while collaborating closely with physicians, nurses, and interdisciplinary teams. This role is ideal for therapists who want their skills fully utilized in a setting where excellence is expected and supported.
The Role
As a Respiratory Therapist, you will evaluate, treat, and monitor patients with acute and chronic cardiopulmonary conditions across a broad range of clinical environments. Your work will directly support patient stabilization, disease management, and recovery.
In this role, you can expect to:
Deliver respiratory care therapies and interventions in accordance with physician orders and evidence-based protocols
Assess patient respiratory status and adjust treatment approaches based on clinical presentation and response to therapy
Manage and monitor mechanical ventilation, oxygen delivery systems, and airway support devices
Collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and other members of the care team to develop and implement respiratory care plans
Provide patient and family education related to respiratory conditions, therapies, and equipment
Document care accurately and consistently to support continuity, quality, and safety
The pace of this role is dynamic and clinically engaging. An average day may include caring for medically complex patients, responding to changes in patient condition, supporting emergent respiratory needs, and contributing to multidisciplinary rounds and care discussions. The work is hands-on, impactful, and deeply tied to patient outcomes.
Why UVA Health
UVA Health is a Magnet recognized academic medical center and Level 1 trauma center where respiratory care is central to patient survival and recovery across critical care, surgical, medical, and specialty populations.
What makes this opportunity distinctive:
Academic Medicine Environment: Respiratory Therapists work alongside attending physicians, residents, fellows, and advanced practice providers in a true teaching hospital where clinical excellence and education are inseparable
High Acuity Clinical Exposure: UVA Health cares for patients with complex respiratory needs, including trauma, neurological injury, cardiopulmonary disease, and postoperative recovery
Professional Respect and Collaboration: Therapists are valued as clinical decisionmakers and essential contributors to interdisciplinary care planning
Innovation and Evidence Based Practice: UVA Health supports the integration of new respiratory technologies, research informed practice, and continuous improvement in care delivery
Strategic Role in Patient Care: Respiratory therapy is fundamental to UVA Health's ability to deliver advanced, life sustaining care across the health system
This role offers the opportunity to practice respiratory therapy with depth, autonomy, and purpose -within a system that understands the importance of your expertise and invests in your success.
Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates , supporting those who are considering a move to join UVA Health and its Respiratory Care team.
