Job Description:
Are you interested in gaining experience working with healthcare professionals? Would you enjoy hands-on surgical training and learning how to review and work with medical charts? Are you looking for a meaningful career with a nonprofit organization that helps restore sight through corneal transplantation? If so, the Transplant TissueDonor Recovery Coordinator (DRC) position at the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank may be the perfect fit. Why This Work Matters Jerry was an all-star high school athlete on his way to college with a full-ride scholarship. Many believed he had a future in the major leagues. But more than anything, Jerry was known for his kindness and generosity. After a tragic accident took his life, Jerry’s long-time wish to be an organ and tissue donor became incredibly important. His best friend had received a life-saving kidney transplant years earlier, and Jerry always knew he wanted to help others the same way. Fulfilling that wish requires someone compassionate enough to make a difficult but meaningful call to his family—and skilled enough to help turn that generosity into the gift of sight for someone else. As a Transplant TissueDonor Recovery Coordinator (DRC), you could be the person who helps make that possible. Position Overview The DRC plays a vital role in the donation process. In this position, you will communicate with donor families and healthcare professionals to facilitate ocular tissue donation for transplantation and research.
