Biographical Sketch: Nananda Col, MD, MPP, MPH, FACP, is a general internist and decision scientist whose primary interest is developing new approaches to help patients and health care providers make decisions that reflect their personal circumstances, characteristics, goals, and preferences. Her work developing evidence-based, patient-centered shared decision making applications bridges the divide between decision sciences, risk communication, and medical informatics. With over 20 years experience as a primary care internist and NIH-funded health services researcher, her scholarly work addresses a broad range of issues relevant to clinical decision making, women's health, and consumer health informatics. She serves on the Steering Committee for the International Patient Decision Aid Standards collaboration and the Cochrane Collaboration's Review of Patient Decision Aids, the FDA's Risk Communication Advisory Committee, and several study sections, including the NIH (Healthcare Delivery and Methodologies) and Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
