About
Brian Blew is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on surgical education, robotic surgery implementation, and patient-centered quality improvement. His most influential contribution is a landmark survey of senior urology residents across Canada, which assessed training in laparoscopy, robotics, and endourology—a study that has garnered 33 citations and remains a key reference for understanding gaps in surgical training. Dr. Blew also led a multi-surgeon programmatic approach to introducing robotic surgery, demonstrating that a structured, team-based implementation can maintain long-term patient outcomes even during the initial learning curve. More recently, he spearheaded a quality improvement initiative using video-based education to reduce delayed discharges after robotic prostatectomy while preserving patient satisfaction. His work bridges the critical intersection of surgical innovation, education, and patient care, offering practical models for training the next generation of urologists and safely adopting new technologies. With a career focused on measurable improvements in both resident preparedness and patient outcomes, Dr. Blew’s research continues to shape how urologic surgery is taught and delivered in Canada.
