Kidney Transplant Coordinator

As a Transplant Coordinator, your primary responsibility will be to facilitate the entire transplantation process for patients in need of organ transplants. This includes evaluating patients for transplant eligibility, educating them and their families on the transplant process, arranging necessary diagnostic tests and consultations, and coordinating their placement on the transplant waiting list. Additionally, you will be involved in coordinating with living donors by providing screening and education, managing deceased donor kidney offers and allocation, and communicating with organ procurement organizations (OPOs) to ensure a smooth process. Surgical coordination will also be a key aspect of your role, where you will schedule surgeries, manage logistics, ensure all medical clearances are obtained, and prepare both the patient and surgical team for the procedure. Post-transplant follow-up is crucial, as you will be responsible for monitoring patients for signs of organ rejection or complications, scheduling follow-up appointments and lab tests, and educating patients on medications and lifestyle changes post-transplant. Administratively, you will be required to maintain detailed medical records and transplant documentation, assist with insurance and financial coordination, and ensure compliance with transplant center protocols and regulatory standards. To excel in this role, you should possess a Registered Nurse (RN) qualification with a BSN preferred, or be a licensed healthcare professional with relevant experience in nephrology, dialysis, or transplant care. Certification as a Clinical Transplant Coordinator (CCTC) would be advantageous. Strong communication, organizational, and multitasking skills are essential, along with compassion, emotional resilience, and a good understanding of transplant regulations and medical terminology. This is a full-time position that may involve day and rotational shifts, with the work location being in person. The expected start date for this role is 08/06/2025.,
