A Descriptive Study of Transplant Coordinator Job Satisfaction.

As annual rates of transplants continue to increase across the United States, the need for growing and retaining talented staff in transplant care settings is even more critical. Results of the study suggest that while transplant coordinators remain largely satisfied with the challenges and personal fulfillment associated with their positions, opportunities for professional development may improve retention and recruitment. Specifically, supporting career development and providing formalized evaluation and supervision were identified as areas of improvement within this specialized group of clinicians.
