Work where every moment matters.

Every day, more than 40,000 Hartford HealthCare employees come to work with one thing in common: Pride in what we do, knowing every moment matters here.  We invite you to become part of Connecticut’s most comprehensive healthcare network. 

The intent of this Internship is to help stimulate career interest and foster professional development as a Respiratory Therapist within the Hartford Healthcare system. The focus of this program is to immerse the Student Respiratory Therapist into the role of Respiratory Care Practitioner to provide foundational didactic and practical learning experiences.

The intern will provide direct patient care within a defined scope of practice under the direct and continuous supervision of an RCP preceptor. All work is co-signed by a Licensed Respiratory Practitioner. This will be an immersive learning experience, primarily shadowing and working in an acute hospital setting.
