About Dr. Volk
Dr. Volk is Hubert L. and Olive Stringer Distinguished Professor in Cancer Research at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he also serves as Deputy Chair in the Department of Health Services Research. A decision scientist, his research focuses on shared decision making, a process wherein patients and their health care providers jointly make difficult clinical decisions when the optimal strategy is uncertain. Dr. Volk heads the Decision Support Lab in the Department of Health Services Research and the Decision Science Core for MD Anderson’s NCI-funded Cancer Center Support Grant. His lab produces, tests and disseminates decision support tools for decision making across the cancer care continuum. He was named the 2012 Outstanding Patient Educator at MD Anderson, received a President’s Recognition for Faculty Excellence award in 2016, a President's Recognition for Faculty Excellence in Education and Mentorship Advancement award in 2017, a President’s Recognition of Faculty Excellence in Prevention Outreach Award in 2019, and in 2020 received the Robert M. Chamberlain Distinguished Mentor Award. His patient decision aids have received two Telly Awards, one Platinum and two Gold Hermes Creative Awards for best film and video production in the area of health care. He serves as Co-Chair of the Steering Committee for the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) Collaboration, and is co-leading an update of the evidence and standards used in development of patient decision aids. He was a panel member for National Quality Forum’s patient decision aid certification project, which led to publication of their new standards in 2017. Previously, he headed decision aid development for the John M. Eisenberg Center for Clinical Decisions and Communications Science, an AHRQ-funded center for translation of complex scientific information into materials for consumers, clinicians and policymakers. His team has produced a number of decision aids, including the Lung Cancer Screening Tools for Patients and Clinicians for AHRQ, and the colorectal cancer screening shared decision-making tools for the American Cancer Society. Currently, he chairs the Shared Decision Making Task Group of the newly formed National Lung Cancer Roundtable (NLCRT), supported by the American Cancer Society.
