About
Dr. J Clements is a leading voice in the future of surgical education, with a research focus on the integration of advanced technology—particularly robotic surgery—into surgical training. Their major contribution lies in systematically assessing how surgical trainees across multiple specialties experience and perceive robotic systems, work that is critical for shaping modern curricula. Clements’ most-cited paper, “Surgical trainee experience and opinion of robotic surgery in surgical training and vision for the future” (2021, 55 citations), provides a pan-specialty snapshot that has become a foundational reference for educators and policymakers. They also co-authored the landmark “Future of Surgery: Technology Enhanced Surgical Training” report (2022), which calls for a coordinated national strategy to evaluate and implement technological solutions in surgical training—a pressing need as the market for such tools expands rapidly. Through this work, Clements has established themselves as a key architect of evidence-based, technology-enhanced surgical education, directly influencing how the next generation of surgeons will be trained.
