Donor Network West’s mission is to save and heal lives through organ and tissue donation for transplantation and research.

At Donor Network West, we're looking for people who embody our core values: passion, excellence, equity and inclusion, and relationships. We welcome diverse perspectives and foster an environment of collaboration and service.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Organ Preservationist Coordinator III (OPC) oversees all organ donor perfusion and organ preservation processes and is responsible for the intraoperative leadership of a team of medical professionals while managing the recovery process of all solid organs. The OPC must have an advanced degree of anatomical knowledge, skills and technical expertise in surgical services, and gain the ability to assist the organ recovery surgeon in the removal of deceased donor organs for transplantation. Failure of the OPC to carry out the responsibilities of this position can result in the loss of organs; thereby, decreasing in the number of organs available for transplant.

OPCs work collaboratively with a range of high level professionals including physicians, hospital administrators, nurses, and others involved in the donation process. To this audience they are the operative expert for the organ recovery process. Responsibilities include logistical management of surgical teams and organs, administration of proper equipment and Operating Room (OR) set-up, communicating and documenting intraoperative findings appropriately, advanced understanding of organ anatomy to enable discourse with surgeons, and other core clinical responsibilities outlined in job duties below.

Each organ donation can represent a new set of unusual circumstances that must be dealt with in real-time to ensure a successful donation. This requires a high degree of organization, ingenuity, and ability to adapt and problem solve in the face of unforeseen surgical and logistical problems. Innovative problem solving needs to happen in a rapid and decisive manner to lessen the potential of adverse impacts that could negatively impact the supply of organs and relationships with hospitals in our donor service area.

An OPC must be able to serve in a consulting capacity to donor hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or OR staff by answering questions and lending expertise in order to facilitate the wishes of the decedent and patient’s family in the donation process.
