$85,000 Annual Salary
A patient falls asleep.

You don’t.

While others rest, you’re monitoring respiratory events, oxygen saturation, cardiac rhythms, sleep stages, and subtle physiologic changes that may reveal life-altering sleep disorders.

Jamaica Hospital Medical Center is seeking an experienced Polysomnographic Technologist to join our Sleep Laboratory and help deliver high-quality diagnostic and therapeutic sleep services to pediatric and adult patients.

This is not an entry-level sleep lab position.

We’re looking for a professional who can independently perform sleep studies, accurately score and document findings, recognize clinically significant events, and contribute to exceptional patient care throughout the diagnostic and treatment process.

ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Polysomnographic Technologist, you will perform overnight sleep studies utilizing advanced polysomnographic equipment to evaluate and assist in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.

You will monitor patients throughout the study, ensure data integrity, assist with PAP titration, educate patients, and work collaboratively with physicians and other healthcare professionals to support effective treatment planning.

Patients range from infants and children to adolescents and adults.

  • PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Perform diagnostic and therapeutic polysomnographic studies
  • Apply and remove electrodes and sensors in accordance with AASM standards
  • Monitor sleep architecture, respiratory events, cardiac activity, oxygen saturation, and patient behavior throughout studies
  • Score and analyze sleep studies and prepare reports for physician interpretation
  • Conduct CPAP and BiPAP titration studies
  • Educate patients regarding sleep disorders, sleep hygiene, and treatment options
  • Ensure patient safety, comfort, and compliance throughout testing
  • Calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot sleep laboratory equipment
  • Collaborate with physicians and interdisciplinary team members regarding study findings and patient care needs
  • Assist with training and support of staff and students as appropriate
