Biography and photograph when elected: 

Dr. Dolin received his bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of California at San Diego, received his MD degree from University of California at Irvine, and did his postgraduate training in internal medicine at University of California at Los Angeles. His primary interests have revolved around “semantic interoperability” and the development of richly expressive models of health care that can be used to trigger advanced decision support functionality. He is a member of Kaiser Permanente’s Convergent Medical Terminology Team and has been a sustained contributor to knowledge representation standards in health care, and is on the Health Level 7 (HL7) Board of Directors and the Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine International Standards Board. He is one of the chief architects of the evolving Health Level 7 Clinical Document Architecture. His election to the College recognizes these important and creative efforts in knowledge representation and communication standards development for biomedical data.
