Jamie McDonald, MS, LGC
Co-Director HHT Clinic
Department of Pathology
Jamie is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology. She received an undergraduate degree from Carleton College in biology, and a master's degree in Genetic Counseling at the University of California at Berkeley in 1986. She is certified as a Genetic Counselor by the American Board of Medical Genetics and American Board of Genetic Counseling.
Jamie came to the University of Utah Medical Center in 1988 and worked in the Departments of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Huntsman Cancer Institute's Hereditary Cancer Clinics before focusing on HHT. In 1995 she helped establish the University of Utah HHT Center and has been a core member of its multidisciplinary team since. Jamie worked to establish the HHT Clinic at the University of Utah Medical after becoming convinced through personal experience that families with this relatively common genetic disorder needed a center of expert, multidisciplinary care in the western states. Jamie, her two children, and many other family members have HHT.
Jamie has spearheaded clinical and laboratory HHT research at the University of Utah and published multiple articles on HHT. She has also served on the HHT Foundation International Board of Directors and on the HHT Foundation International Medical and Scientific Advisory Board for many years.
