About

Wendelyn M. Oslock is a rising leader in surgical education, with a focused research agenda on optimizing training for the next generation of surgeons in an era of rapidly evolving technology. Her work centers on robotic surgical education, where she systematically investigates how both trainees and attending surgeons can best develop and refine their skills. In her most-cited paper, a 2024 systematic review, Oslock synthesizes evidence on robotic training strategies, including trainee curricula, simulation modalities, and skill assessment tools, providing a critical roadmap for educators navigating the expansion of robotic surgery across specialties. This work has already garnered early attention, signaling its importance to the field. By addressing the pressing challenge of teaching an additional surgical modality, Oslock’s contributions help bridge the gap between technological advancement and effective pedagogy, ensuring that future surgeons are equipped with the competencies needed for safe, proficient practice. Her research is essential reading for anyone involved in surgical training or the integration of robotics into clinical education.
