Sometimes called medical secretaries, health unit coordinators (HUCs) support the medical staff at a health care facility. A HUC helps to keep the facility organized and coordinate communication between patients and medical staff. As a coordinator, you may greet and check in patients, schedule appointments, schedule procedures and perform clerical duties. Other days you might compile patients' charts, transcribe physicians' orders and prepare birth or death certificates. Much of your work is performed under supervision of registered physicians or nurses.

Who is the ist coordinator for North Carolina National Guard?
When you're doing an interstate transfer, you won't contact the receiving state's IST coordinator directly. You start the process in your unit, they contact your state's IST coordinator, then your own state's IST coordinator will contact the IST coordinator of the receiving state. Posting the name and contact info of the NC IST coordinator will do you no good - even if you contact them directly, they can't do anything for you until they're contacted by your state's IST coordinator.
