ART THERAPY CAREER CENTER

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as an Exercise Physiologist. 

Your compassion is tangible: patients feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers. Colleagues feel it in your support.

Youâ™re equally comfortable with developing individualized fitness and exercise programs, providing ongoing patient education, and documenting patient-related information accurately. 

Youâ™re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

Us.

St. Vincent Healthcare is part of SCL Health, a faith-based, nonprofit healthcare organization that focuses on person-centered care. Our 286-bed level II trauma center has provided care in Montana and the surrounding area since 1898, and our 30-clinic network ensures community needs are met. We offer comprehensive, specialty care, including a âœhospital within a hospital❠specifically for children, and are proud to extend SCL Healthâ™s missions by treating the poor, the vulnerable, our community and each other.

Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package includes medical, dental and vision coverage. But health is more than a well-working body: it encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, weâ™ve launched a Healthy Living program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and Paid Time Off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning.

We.

Together weâ™ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. Weâ™ll honor each otherâ™s dignity and surpass the standards we set. Weâ™ll encourage joy and take pride in our integrity.

Weâ™ll laugh at each otherâ™s jokes (even the bad ones). Weâ™ll hello and high five. Weâ™ll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

Weâ™re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.

Your day.

As an Exercise Physiologist, you need to know how to:

• Assign and instruct in appropriate workloads and/or work stations with respect to the patientâ™s age, physical and/or mental limitations, and capacity to perform within the exercise prescription set forth by the patientsâ™ physician. Demonstrate working knowledge of appropriate testing procedures (i.e.: Six-minute walk test, bike test, arm ergometer test) and materials in order to perform valid functional capacity testing.


• Assist in providing general mobility interventions and activities of daily living following a developed plan of care per delegation by the therapists or floor RN.


• Take and record patient vital signs, BP, HR, O2 stats as assigned. Note changes in the patientâ™s/participantâ™s physical, mental, and emotional status and responds in appropriate manner by addressing patientâ™s immediate needs, notification and involvement of other staff, and subsequent follow-up with patientâ™s physician via telephone and/or Symptom Report.


• Attend Cardiology Catheterization Rounds. Provide immediate and ongoing education/information to patient/participants regarding monitoring of their vital signs in class and at home, prescription and OTC medications, coronary artery disease risk factors, modification of exercise with regards to temperature extremes, stress reduction techniques, recognition of angina and heart attack symptoms, and appropriate increases/changes in workloads.


• Assist in maintaining order and cleanliness of the unit. Maintain appropriate stock levels for complex interventions and diagnostic procedures.


• Complete daily, progress and discharge documentation according to departmental standards. Accurately document productivity information.


• Participate in quality and patient safety initiatives. Identify potential areas for improvement including processes that could be streamlined or revised to improve patient satisfaction. Identify potential safety hazards that may create problems for patients and/or staff, and take appropriate actions.
