Peter Ubel, MD, Associate Faculty Director, Health Sector Management 

Ubel is the Madge and Dennis T. McLawhorn University Professor of Business, Public Policy and Medicine at Duke University. His research explores controversial issues about the role of values and preferences in health care decision making, from decisions at the bedside to policy decisions. A practicing physician for twenty years, Ubel is interested in where policies, and management practices, intersect with clinical care. He uses the tools of decision psychology and behavioral economics to explore topics like informed consent, shared decision making and health care cost containment. 

His books include Pricing Life: Why it’s time for healthcare rationing (MIT Press 2000) and Free Market Madness: How economics is at odds with human nature—and why it matters (Harvard Business Press, 2009).  His newest book, Critical Decisions (HarperCollins, 2012) explores the challenges of shared decision making between doctors and patients. You can find his blogs and other information at http://www.peterubel.com/.
