Dr. Kiran Macha was educated as a physician in India. He has practiced medicine in India and the United Kingdom. After earning his MPH, he joined the faculty of the University of North Florida, School of Nursing in Jacksonville where he has taught and managed research projects with Advanced Practice Nursing students in both primary care and anesthesiology. During this period he became convinced of the value of advanced nursing practice in maintaining optimum quality and access to patient care.

There was a need to create a text dealing with the topics related to epidemiology that would approach issues from the advanced nursing perspective. He chose to establish a group of experts who could fill that need and the concept of this text was born. See less
