WHY work at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital?

The King Faisal Specialist Hospital, a regional referral center, sees a variety of complex cases that American and Canadian RRTs may never encounter back home. The Respiratory Care team consists of 200 employees, who provide services to all critical care areas (adult and pediatric), the ER and general wards. RRTs have much autonomy in their daily practice. The management team is very supportive.

WHERE will you be living?

In Riyadh, a city of 5 million people, the futuristic towers and shopping malls, sharply contrast with the adjacent desert where vendors are selling melons, camels, goats, and perfumes. You have the varied conveniences of the modern city (the Diplomatic Quarter and its social events, the delicacies of 5-star dining, the greasy treats of roadside vendors) as well as the mystery of the vast desert (hiking to the "Edge of the World", camping under the stars, and searching for desert roses or camel skulls).

During the first eight weeks of your contract you will rotate through all intensive care units, including:

• Surgical Special Care Unit
• Medical/Oncology ICU
  
• Liver ICU and HDU
• Adult Cardiac Surgical ICU
• Pediatric Cardiac Surgical ICU
• Coronary Care and Cardiovascular Units
• Pediatric ICU
• Level III NICU; High Risk L&D
• Rapid Response
• Code Pagers

After the first six months, you can choose a core area of the ICU in which to work. RRTs provide continuous oxygenation and ventilation support to all types of adult, pediatric and neonatal ICU patients.
