About

Garett J. Steers is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on the integration of robotic surgery into general surgery residency training. His major contribution lies in assessing the educational landscape for robotic surgery, particularly through a landmark 2021 survey that compared attitudes toward robotic training curricula among general surgery, urology, and OBGYN residents and attendings. This study, which has garnered 11 citations, highlighted critical gaps in standardized training protocols and underscored the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in surgical education. By identifying disparities in how different specialties approach robotic surgery training, Steers has provided foundational insights for developing more cohesive, competency-based curricula. His work is notable for its practical implications, directly informing how residency programs can better prepare surgeons for the increasing prevalence of minimally invasive robotic procedures. Steers’ research serves as a valuable resource for educators and trainees navigating the evolving demands of modern surgical practice, emphasizing the importance of structured, hands-on training to ensure patient safety and surgical proficiency.
