Emergency Room Technician

As an ER Tech at CHI St Vincent, you’ll help our patients feel safer and more comfortable by assisting with their care while in the Emergency Department. 

No two days in the Emergency Department  are ever the same. You’re a multitasker who can react quickly as you’ll prioritize patients based on their medical necessity while you’re providing emergency triage to others. As part of our ER team, you’ll partner with an experienced clinical team to deliver stabilizing care to our patients. 

To thrive as an ED tech, you should exhibit teamwork, professionalism, critical thinking skills, and a willingness to take on additional projects such as patient experience initiatives. More than anything, you should be energetic and motivated to provide quality care to all of our patients, maintaining their dignity at every step.
