About
Dr. Caroline Moon is a leading surgical education researcher whose work focuses on the transferability of technical skills between robotic and laparoscopic platforms. In her landmark randomized controlled trial, "Transference of skills in robotic vs. laparoscopic simulation" (2021, 25 citations), she demonstrated that prior laparoscopic experience does not automatically confer proficiency in robotic surgery, challenging prevailing assumptions in surgical training. This pivotal study has informed the design of dedicated robotic curricula worldwide, emphasizing the need for modality-specific simulation. Dr. Moon’s research directly addresses the critical gap in how surgeons acquire robotic competencies, a pressing issue as robotic-assisted procedures proliferate. Her work has been instrumental in shaping evidence-based training protocols, ensuring patient safety while optimizing the learning curve for new technologies. By rigorously testing the boundaries of skill transference, Dr. Moon has established herself as a key voice in the future of surgical education, bridging the gap between traditional laparoscopy and the robotic era.
