About The Position

Each shift, the RVT is a key clinical pillar, leading anesthesia and patient monitoring, performing venipuncture and placing IV catheters, initiating and managing fluid therapy, executing radiology safely and efficiently, monitoring hospitalized patients and escalating concerns, educating clients clearly and compassionately, supporting surgical flow and sterile technique, and helping to refine clinical processes and standards. RVTs are empowered to practice to the full extent of their training and registration.
