About
Heleen J. M. Pennings is a leading researcher in urological education, with a particular focus on the integration of video-based learning into surgical training. Her work addresses a critical gap in how modern technology can enhance residency programs, moving beyond traditional teaching methods to improve both surgical preparation and performance evaluation. Her most-cited study, “For Your Eyes Only? The Use of Surgical Videos in Urological Residency Training: A European-wide Survey” (2024, 8 citations), is a landmark investigation that reveals the current underutilization of video resources across Europe. By surveying a broad cohort of residents, Pennings provides essential data on the frequency and perception of video use, highlighting the need for standardized integration into curricula. This contribution is pivotal for educators and policymakers aiming to modernize surgical training, ensuring that future urologists are equipped with the most effective learning tools. Her work not only documents existing practices but also sets the stage for evidence-based reforms in residency education.
