About
Dr. Michael Galloway is a leading figure in gynecologic surgical education, with a focused expertise in robotic surgery training and the assessment of surgical competence. His work addresses the critical need for standardized, objective methods to train and evaluate surgeons in the rapidly evolving field of minimally invasive gynecology. Dr. Galloway’s most influential contribution is the development and validation of the Robotic Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (R-OSATS), a landmark study (85 citations) that provides a reliable framework for measuring trainee proficiency. He further advanced the field by establishing objective benchmarks for minimum competence using dry lab robotic drills, a study that has garnered 28 citations and directly informs modern surgical curricula. By defining what constitutes a "competent" performance, his research helps ensure patient safety and educational rigor. Dr. Galloway’s work is essential reading for surgical educators and residents, as it provides the evidence-based tools needed to navigate the shift from traditional open surgery to advanced robotic techniques, ultimately shaping the next generation of gynecologic surgeons.
