About
Dr. Zoe Nepomnayshy is a surgical educator and researcher whose work bridges the critical gap between technical proficiency and team dynamics in the operating room. Her primary research areas include surgical education, team communication, and gender equity in procedural medicine. Her most influential work, "Unexpected findings of gender bias after a correlation of operating room teamwork assessment tools" (2022), has garnered 4 citations and represents a pivotal contribution to understanding how implicit bias can skew performance evaluations in high-stakes clinical environments. By correlating established teamwork assessment tools, Dr. Nepomnayshy revealed that gender stereotypes may unconsciously influence how surgical teams are rated, challenging the validity of these widely used metrics. This finding has significant implications for how we train and evaluate surgeons, pushing the field toward more equitable assessment practices. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of surgical education, human factors, and diversity in medicine, offering a data-driven lens on a problem that affects patient safety and career advancement alike.
