Transplant Coordinators

The number of people waiting for organ donations is growing, but there still is a need to find an increased number of donors. Therefore, a number of organizations have been developed to promote organ donations, particularly among minorities. These efforts require the skills of transplant coordinators. The stress level of the job is high, which means the burnout rate is also high. Also, transplant procurement coordinators' hours can be long and irregular, so many procurement coordinators move on to other positions after only 18 months or less. This means continued job opportunities for those looking for work as coordinators.
