About

Dr. Connie Wang is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical education, ergonomics, and women's pelvic health. She is best known for her innovative use of gamification to transform surgical training, as demonstrated in her highly cited 2022 study on a robotic surgery simulation league, which showed a dramatic increase in resident engagement and skill acquisition (23 citations). Dr. Wang has also been a leading voice on surgeon well-being, authoring a seminal paper on ergonomic considerations in urologic surgery (15 citations) that has sparked critical conversations about preventing workplace injuries in the operating room. Her clinical expertise extends to pelvic organ prolapse, where she has contributed a comprehensive overview of etiology, diagnosis, and management (2023). By blending cutting-edge simulation technology with a deep commitment to both patient outcomes and surgeon longevity, Dr. Wang is shaping the future of urologic training and practice. Her work has been recognized with multiple institutional teaching awards, and she continues to advocate for safer, more engaging surgical environments.
