About

K. Marie Reid is a surgical educator and researcher whose work focuses on the integration of robotic surgery into general surgery residency training. Her most-cited paper, "Adopting Robotics Training into a General Surgery Residency Curriculum: Where Are We Now?" (2019), provides a critical assessment of the current state of robotic surgery education, identifying gaps in standardized curricula and offering a roadmap for future implementation. This work has garnered attention as residency programs increasingly seek to prepare trainees for the growing role of minimally invasive robotic techniques. Reid’s research addresses a pressing need in surgical education: balancing traditional open and laparoscopic training with emerging robotic technologies. While her citation count is modest, her contributions are timely and practical, directly informing curriculum design at academic medical centers. By highlighting challenges such as simulation access, case volume, and faculty development, Reid has helped shape conversations around competency-based training in surgery. Her work serves as a foundational resource for educators and program directors navigating the shift toward robotic surgery, ensuring that the next generation of surgeons is equipped with the skills to meet evolving clinical demands.
