About
Jahnavi K. Srinivasan is a surgical education researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of simulation, robotic skill acquisition, and resident autonomy. Her investigations center on how structured training interventions—from video-based cadaver curricula to robotic simulation platforms—can objectively measure and enhance surgical proficiency. In her highly cited 2019 study (11 citations), Srinivasan demonstrated that a structured, video-based cadaver curriculum could significantly improve resident operative autonomy, providing evidence for competency-based training models. Her 2023 work (8 citations) broke new ground by evaluating learning decay in robotic surgery, revealing that a 3-month break from the robotic platform paradoxically led to less skill decay and improved retention—a counterintuitive finding with major implications for surgical training schedules. By quantifying how skills are acquired, lost, and retained, Srinivasan’s research directly informs how residency programs can optimize simulation training to produce safer, more autonomous surgeons. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in evidence-based surgical education and the future of robotic surgery training.
