About

Christine Dauphine is a surgeon-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical education and emerging operative technologies, with a particular focus on the integration of robotic surgery into graduate medical training. Her research has consistently addressed one of the field's most pressing questions: how should the next generation of general surgeons be trained on robotic platforms, and should such training be formalized as a residency requirement? Dauphine's most influential contribution, a 2018 national survey examining robotic surgery training curricula across general surgery residency programs, has garnered 73 citations and remains a foundational reference for educators and program directors grappling with curriculum standardization. Building on this work, she has examined perspectives from both residency and fellowship program directors, explored colorectal surgery training specifically, and investigated whether robotic exposure should begin as early as junior residency years. Collectively, her publications have shaped the national conversation around competency frameworks and training timelines. With over 135 cumulative citations, Dauphine's research has meaningfully influenced how surgical educators think about preparing residents for an increasingly technology-driven operating room, making her a significant voice in the evolving landscape of surgical education reform.
