About
Driven by a commitment to advancing surgical education in urology, Fernanda Girardi has made impactful contributions to understanding how laparoscopic skills are developed and assessed among trainees in Brazil. Her most-cited work, a 2020 national survey of Brazilian urology residents, provides a critical snapshot of training practices, familiarity with laparoscopy, and the challenges faced by residency programs. By systematically evaluating the methods and perspectives of over 80 programs, Girardi’s research has helped identify key gaps in simulation-based learning and hands-on exposure, offering evidence-based recommendations to improve surgical curricula. Her findings have been instrumental in shaping discussions around standardized training pathways, ensuring that future urologists are better prepared for minimally invasive procedures. With a citation count reflecting the growing interest in surgical education reform, Girardi’s work stands as a foundational reference for educators and policymakers. Her dedication to bridging the gap between training and clinical readiness underscores her role as a thoughtful advocate for structured, competency-based urological education in Latin America.
