About
Gloria To is a leading researcher in surgical education and robotic surgery, with a particular focus on defining and validating objective performance metrics. Her landmark systematic review, "What are clinically relevant performance metrics in robotic surgery?" (2022, 26 citations), established a critical framework for identifying procedure-specific, objective measures that correlate directly with clinical outcomes. This work addresses a fundamental gap in surgical training: the need for reliable feedback mechanisms that go beyond subjective assessment. To's research has helped shift the paradigm from time-based training to competency-based assessment, enabling surgeons to receive tailored, contextual feedback during robotic procedures. Her contributions are shaping how surgical programs worldwide design curricula and evaluate trainee proficiency. By bridging the gap between technical performance and patient outcomes, To's work has significant implications for patient safety and surgical quality assurance. Her systematic approach to defining clinically relevant performance metrics has become a cornerstone reference for researchers and educators developing next-generation robotic surgery training programs.
