About
Gayane Yenokyan is a biostatistician whose research centers on advancing statistical methodology for clinical trials and medical education, with a particular focus on simulation-based training and trauma care. Her most cited work, a 2020 randomized controlled trial comparing surgical cricothyroidotomy training using a swine model versus an animated robotic manikin, exemplifies her commitment to improving life-saving emergency procedures through rigorous evidence. This study, which has garnered 17 citations, addresses the critical need for optimal training methods for airway management on the battlefield, where airway obstruction remains a preventable cause of death. Yenokyan’s contributions lie in designing and analyzing studies that evaluate the effectiveness of simulation technologies, helping to determine whether animal models or advanced manikins better prepare clinicians for high-stakes trauma interventions. Her work bridges biostatistics and medical education, ensuring that training protocols are grounded in solid data rather than tradition. By applying sophisticated statistical techniques to practical clinical questions, Yenokyan has helped shape how military and emergency medicine personnel acquire essential surgical skills, ultimately impacting patient survival in critical moments.
