About

Eunice Choi is a researcher at the intersection of surgical safety, human factors engineering, and robotic-assisted surgery. Her work systematically examines the gap between technological innovation and real-world clinical practice, focusing on how work-system interventions can mitigate risks in high-stakes operating environments. Her systematic review on work-system interventions in robotic-assisted surgery (30 citations) identifies critical challenges and proposes solutions to enhance safety and efficiency. Choi’s investigation into barriers to safety and efficiency during robotic surgery docking (27 citations) further highlights the often-overlooked procedural bottlenecks that can compromise patient outcomes. She has also advanced methodological approaches in the field, using flow disruptions to assess system safety through a stepped wedge crossover design (9 citations). In a notable shift, Choi’s earlier work includes a case report on de novo large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate (29 citations), demonstrating her breadth in urologic pathology. Her recent study on the “July Effect” in urologic robotic training (2024) explores whether new surgical residents impact operative times, contributing to ongoing debates about surgical education and patient safety.
