Respiratory Therapist Education Incentive Program

Respiratory Therapy Education Incentive Program

United Health Services (UHS) is proud to offer a unique opportunity for a Degree in Respiratory Therapy (RT) through our RT Education Incentive Program. This initiative provides financial support for Respiratory Care education in return for a work commitment within the UHS system upon graduation. Participants will gain early exposure to healthcare environments while pursuing their degree, positioning them for a successful transition into a Respiratory Therapist role.

Selected participants will receive full or partial tuition support while completing their respiratory therapy degree. In return, recipients agree to fulfill specific educational, employment, and participation commitments within UHS Hospitals (Wilson Medical Center or Binghamton General Hospital).

Participant Commitments:

• Successfully complete all RT program requirements within the agreed-upon timeframe.
• Accept and begin an RT position within 60 days of graduation.
• Commit to continuous employment at UHS for a duration based on tuition support received:
• 2 years of tuition = 2 years of employment
• 3 years of tuition = 3 years of employment
• 4 years of tuition = 4 years of employment

While Enrolled:

• Work part-time or per diem (based on availability) within the UHS system during school enrollment.
