Abstract
As cardiac transplantation has evolved into a viable therapeutic option for some terminally ill patients with end-stage heart disease, the role of clinical transplant and donor organ procurement coordinators has evolved into a new health profession. These well-trained, highly skilled, and dedicated individual's permeate all levels of the organ transplantation process, providing continuity of care and smoothness to a complicated path of operation.Keywords
