About
Catherine Breese is a rising leader in surgical safety research, with a focus on enhancing performance in robotic-assisted surgery (RAS). Her work bridges human factors engineering, team dynamics, and innovative training methodologies to reduce errors in high-stakes operating environments. Breese’s most cited study, "Rethinking Surgical Safety: Investigating the Impact of Gamified Training on Severe Flow Disruptions in Surgery" (2024), introduces a novel gamified team training intervention—the "RAS O"—designed to improve both technical and nontechnical skills. This work addresses critical gaps in RAS training, where flow disruptions can compromise patient safety. Though early in her career, with 3 citations to date, her research has already sparked interest for its practical, engaging approach to a pressing clinical problem. Breese’s contributions are particularly notable for integrating game-based learning into surgical education, offering a scalable solution to enhance team coordination and reduce errors. Her findings have implications for training programs worldwide, positioning her as an emerging voice in patient safety and surgical innovation.
