Operate and troubleshoot modern dialysis machines and portable reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment systems.

Direct and partner closely with your on-site Patient Care Technician (PCT) teammate to ensure safe, seamless treatment floor flow.

Collaborate with facility nephrologists, attending physicians, and interdisciplinary care teams to deliver holistic patient outcomes.
