About

Jennifer Hrabe is a general surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical education, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of robotic surgery. Her major contributions center on understanding and improving how surgical trainees—across multiple specialties—are prepared for robotic procedures. In her most-cited study, she surveyed residents and attendings in general surgery, urology, and OBGYN to compare attitudes toward robotic training curricula, revealing critical gaps in standardized education and highlighting the need for dedicated, structured programs. With over a decade of clinical and academic experience, Hrabe has been instrumental in shaping how residency programs integrate robotic training, ensuring that the next generation of surgeons is equipped with both technical and cognitive skills. Her work has garnered attention for its practical, cross-specialty insights, and she continues to advocate for evidence-based, competency-driven training models. Hrabe’s research not only informs curriculum design but also underscores the importance of aligning resident and attending expectations to improve patient safety and surgical outcomes in the era of minimally invasive technology.
