Oregon's large integrated health systems drive the majority of full-time openings, particularly in the Portland metro and Willamette Valley.
Which Oregon cities have the most registered respiratory therapist jobs?
Portland, McMinnville, and Albany have the most registered respiratory therapist openings in Oregon. Portland dominates hiring because of the density of acute care hospitals, specialty centers, and OHSU's academic medical campus, while Salem and Eugene reflect the large regional health systems that anchor the Willamette Valley and southern Oregon.
Are there remote registered respiratory therapist jobs in Oregon?

About 0% of registered respiratory therapist openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be in telehealth consultations, sleep study scoring, or respiratory care education and training roles.
How can I get hired as a registered respiratory therapist in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate respiratory therapist positions at Oregon's large health systems, including OHSU Health and Providence, which periodically run structured onboarding cohorts for new RRT graduates. PeaceHealth and Salem Health also hire new grads into general acute care rotations that build ICU and home care skills. Holding your Oregon Respiratory Care Practitioner license on your start date and completing a clinical rotation at an Oregon facility strengthens your application considerably.
