About

Dr. Tsorng-Harn Fong is a leading researcher in surgical education and robotic surgery, with a particular focus on skill acquisition and gender dynamics in minimally invasive techniques. Her most-cited work, "Gender differences in the acquisition of suturing skills with the da Vinci surgical system" (2019, 26 citations), addresses a critical gap in understanding how demographic shifts in medical training affect surgical proficiency. This study evaluates whether male and female trainees learn robotic suturing differently, providing evidence-based insights that inform curriculum design and mentorship strategies. Dr. Fong’s research bridges surgical robotics, human factors, and medical education, offering practical recommendations for optimizing training programs. Her work has been instrumental in highlighting the importance of inclusive teaching methods as the proportion of female surgeons continues to rise globally. By examining skill acquisition patterns, she contributes to reducing disparities in surgical training and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Fong’s findings are widely cited by educators and robotic surgery specialists, underscoring her impact on shaping the next generation of surgeons. Her dedication to evidence-based pedagogy makes her a pivotal figure in advancing equitable, high-quality surgical education.
