About
Dr. Jeannette Lager is a leading voice in gynecologic surgery, with a research focus on surgical disparities, minimally invasive techniques, and surgical education. Her work critically examines how race and access influence patient care, particularly in myomectomy. Her landmark 2021 study, "Rethinking Disparities in Minimally Invasive Myomectomy," with 9 citations, directly identified the systemic drivers behind why African American women are less likely to receive a minimally invasive surgical approach compared to white women—a pivotal contribution to health equity research. Dr. Lager also addresses the evolving landscape of surgical training. In her 2023 study, "Confronting new challenges," she captured faculty perceptions of critical gaps in laparoscopic curricula as robotic surgery becomes more prevalent, highlighting the urgent need to adapt training models. By bridging the gap between clinical outcomes and educational reform, Dr. Lager’s work is shaping a more equitable and effective future for gynecologic surgery.
