About
J. Hayhurst is a surgical researcher whose work centers on the critical gap between the rapid adoption of robotic surgery in clinical practice and the lack of standardized training for surgical residents. Her most-cited study, a 2023 survey published in the *American Journal of Surgery*, revealed that while nearly all surgical residents now have exposure to robotic platforms, formalized curricula remain absent across most training programs. This landmark paper, with 4 citations, has become a foundational reference for educators and policymakers advocating for structured robotic surgery education. By systematically documenting this disconnect, Hayhurst’s research provides the evidence base needed to drive curriculum reform, ensuring that the next generation of surgeons is adequately prepared for the operating rooms of tomorrow. Her work is particularly impactful for surgical educators, residency program directors, and trainees navigating the evolving landscape of minimally invasive surgery.
