Registered Respiratory Therapist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a registered respiratory therapist in Massachusetts?
You must hold an active respiratory care license issued by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Allied Health Professions, which requires completing an accredited respiratory care program at the associate or bachelor's level and passing the Registered Respiratory Therapist examination administered by the National Board for Respiratory Care. Massachusetts does not recognize out-of-state licenses by endorsement automatically, so candidates licensed elsewhere must apply directly to the board for Massachusetts licensure before practicing in the state.
How much do registered respiratory therapists make in Massachusetts?
Registered respiratory therapists in Massachusetts earn a median of about $102,170 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $80,330 for the lowest 10% to over $123,930 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire registered respiratory therapists in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring registered respiratory therapists in Massachusetts right now include Beth Israel Lahey Health, Sweetwater Care, and PAM Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of large academic medical centers and regional health systems means that hospital-employed positions make up the majority of openings, with consistent hiring across inpatient, ICU, and outpatient pulmonary settings.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most registered respiratory therapist jobs?
Boston, Stoughton, and Cambridge lead Massachusetts for registered respiratory therapist openings. Boston dominates because of its dense cluster of academic medical centers and teaching hospitals, while Worcester reflects the large regional footprint of UMass Memorial Health, and Springfield draws steady demand from Baystate Health and the broader western Massachusetts healthcare network.
Are there remote registered respiratory therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they are rare. Registered respiratory therapy is a hands-on clinical role that requires direct patient contact for the vast majority of duties, so remote work is not a standard feature of the field. About 0% of registered respiratory therapist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically limited to telehealth consultation, utilization review, or clinical education roles that do not require bedside care.
How can I get hired as a registered respiratory therapist in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate or respiratory therapy residency positions at large Massachusetts health systems, where institutions like Brigham and Women's Hospital and UMass Memorial Health periodically run structured new-grad onboarding programs for licensed RRTs. Candidates can also move into respiratory therapy from adjacent allied health roles such as pulmonary function technician or patient care technician positions, which provide relevant clinical exposure. Holding an active Massachusetts license before applying and completing a clinical rotation at a Massachusetts facility significantly strengthens a new-grad application.
Where can I find and apply to registered respiratory therapist jobs in Massachusetts?
