About
Marieke F. van der Schaaf is a leading researcher in urological education and surgical training, with a particular focus on the integration of video-based learning technologies. Her work addresses a critical gap in modern surgical pedagogy: how to effectively incorporate video resources into residency programs to enhance both preoperative preparation and postoperative performance evaluation. Her landmark 2024 study, "For Your Eyes Only? The Use of Surgical Videos in Urological Residency Training: A European-wide Survey," has already garnered 8 citations, highlighting its immediate impact on the field. This research revealed that while video-based learning offers significant potential for improving surgical education, its use is not yet systematically embedded in European urology training curricula. By identifying this disconnect, van der Schaaf has provided a crucial evidence base for curriculum reformers and educators. Her contributions are particularly valuable for shaping the future of surgical training, ensuring that the next generation of urologists is equipped with the most effective, modern learning tools.
