The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences announced Wednesday that Noelle Danylchuk, a certified genetic counselor at its Northwest Regional Campus in Fayetteville, has been appointed chair of the Department of Genetic Counseling in the College of Health Professions at UAMS.
She has also been appointed director of the genetics counseling program.
