About
Danah Fahad is a rising leader in surgical education and medical innovation, whose work bridges the gap between classroom training and clinical practice. Her research centers on curriculum design, digital learning tools, and the integration of emerging technologies—including extended reality, generative AI, and digital scribes—into surgical training. She has made major contributions by evaluating the effectiveness of bilingual career orientation tools, virtual patient initiatives, and near-peer tutoring models, while also examining the unique experiences of hijab-wearing learners in the operating room. Her most cited work, a systematic review and meta-analysis of 17,623 eyes on extended reality simulators in ophthalmic surgery, underscores her commitment to evidence-based education. With additional studies on TikTok content quality, robotic surgery training, and neurosurgery exposure, Fahad’s research has garnered over 1,000 citations, reflecting its growing influence. Notably, her 2024 C-CASE presentation on a 25-year retrospective of Canadian plastic surgery research highlights her ability to synthesize large-scale trends. Fahad’s work is shaping how future surgeons are trained in Canada and beyond.
