About
Dr. Cory Fox is a pioneering surgical educator and robotic surgeon whose work centers on the objective assessment of technical skills in minimally invasive and robotic surgery. His primary research focuses on developing and validating reliable evaluation tools to measure surgical competency, particularly for complex procedures like bowel anastomosis. Dr. Fox’s most cited work, the 2024 study on the Anastomosis Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (A-OSATS), provides critical validity evidence for a standardized instrument designed to assess resident performance of robotic ileocolic anastomosis. This contribution is foundational for competency-based surgical training, offering a reproducible method to evaluate hand-sewn enterotomy skills in a simulated setting. With 2 citations already in its first year, this paper signals growing impact in the field of surgical simulation and assessment. Dr. Fox’s research bridges the gap between technical proficiency and objective measurement, directly influencing how surgical residents are trained and credentialed. His work is essential reading for educators, program directors, and trainees striving to elevate the rigor and transparency of surgical skill evaluation in the era of robotic surgery.
