Tell me about the conditions you are most familiar with treating.
"Coming into my first position out of school, I have direct experience working with a wide variety of patients from my clinical rotations in a large hospital setting. During my rotations, I worked with many people in an inpatient setting with lung cancer, COPD, asthma, and even a few patients with brain injuries due to accidents. In each case, a proper assessment of the patient determines their RT needs, and I am comfortable working on many different patients."
"During my career, I have had the chance to gain experience working in hospital and specialty clinic settings where I was able to work with patients with many different conditions and injuries. I am focused on working with patients with sleep disorders in my current role, and I have received training as a Polysomnographic Technologist. In this setting, I love being able to work with patients that are suffering from various sleep disorders and utilizing the medical software and breathing machines to help make the lives of our patients better."
Bronchitis, Lung Cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Respiratory Syncytial Virus... the list goes on and on. There are so many different conditions that you may encounter on the job. Describe your experience and the outcomes. Explain how you can provide consistent patient care for every situation you have handled.
"Working on a home health team, I have worked with patients that are suffering mostly from COPD, lung cancer, and sleep apnea. These chronically ill patients have been discharged from the hospital and are receiving care in their homes. With each patient, my job is to ensure that they can breathe in the best possible way, so my initial tests are all the same. Beyond that, treatment may vary depending on the condition that they suffer from."
