The Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy seeks a Program Administrator for Anatomical Services. The incumbent will oversee the willed body program for LSUHSC-New Orleans, the Bureau of Anatomical Services (BAS), which accepts approximately 300-400 donors a year for use in medical, dental, nursing, allied health and post-graduate courses. The incumbent will regularly communicate with donors, potential donors and their families; ensure the prompt return of death certificates and cremated remains to donor families; provide application packets to interested individuals and answer questions; coordinate the scheduling of courses with internal departments and outside entities; provide course estimates; coordinate contracts and facility use agreements; invoice and coordinate payment with internal departments and outside entities; and supervise the BAS coordinator and morgue staff.
This position requires a high level of professionalism; the ideal candidate must adhere to the highest ethical standards; detail-oriented; respectful of donors and donor families; and customer-service focused, including taking death calls and being comfortable rejecting donors if they don’t meet the standards for acceptance to the program.
Candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree and have at least three years of professional experience; a master’s degree can substitute for two years of the required experience. Candidates with a master’s degree and/or experience in the funeral industry are preferred.
