Michael Manley, RN, MNSc, has been named the chancellor’s chief of staff at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Previously, he was the Northwest director of clinical services integration and development, a position in which he developed partnerships for graduate education, clinical, and research development at the UAMS Northwest Regional Campus in Fayetteville.
“I look forward to working with Michael in this new role,” said Chancellor Cam Patterson, MD, MBA, and CEO of UAMS Health. “He has already accomplished great things at UAMS, and I believe even greater things are to come as we work together to serve our patients, students, and all Arkansans.”
Manley came to UAMS in 2003 and has served in a variety of roles, including as director of outreach and government relations in the UAMS Center for Distance Health and as patient liaison trainer for diabetes care. Before coming to UAMS, he was executive director of the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency and executive director of the Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency.
Manley succeeds Amy Jo Jenkins, MS, CCRP, who is the director of the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute’s Office of Clinical Trials Administration.
