About

Jenalee Corsello is a surgical educator whose work centers on the critical gap between the rapid adoption of robotic surgery and the lagging development of formal training curricula. Her research, anchored by the influential 2021 paper “The Importance of the Institution of a Robotic Curriculum on Resident Training and Performance,” highlights a pressing issue in general surgery: while over 90% of residents now participate in robotic cases, fewer than 65% of programs have a structured curriculum, and less than half track trainee progress. Corsello’s work demonstrates that many residents are relegated to an observational role, leaving them insufficiently prepared for independent practice. Drawing from her experience at Marshall University, she advocates for standardized, competency-based robotic training that moves beyond passive learning. Though her most cited paper has garnered 4 citations, its impact lies in its timely call to action—sparking conversations among program directors and surgical educators about how to modernize residency training. Corsello’s contributions are essential for ensuring that the next generation of surgeons is equipped to meet the demands of an increasingly robotic operating room.
