About
Catherine Cepeda is a rising investigator in obstetrics and gynecology, with a focused research interest in surgical education and the training of future gynecologic surgeons. Her work critically examines the landscape of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) training, a field of growing importance as patient demand for less invasive procedures increases. In her most cited study, "Differences in Exposure to Minimally Invasive Surgery in a Sample of United States Obstetrics and Gynecology Residents," Cepeda conducted a cross-sectional survey of senior residents to assess their hands-on experience with MIGS techniques. Her findings highlighted significant variability in surgical exposure across different residency programs, raising important questions about the standardization of surgical training. While her citation count is early in her career, this work represents a foundational contribution to understanding gaps in resident preparedness. Cepeda’s research is directly relevant to medical educators and policymakers working to improve surgical curricula, ensuring that future OB/GYNs are equipped with the skills necessary for modern, patient-centered care.
