About
Dr. Kaitlyn Boyd is a leading researcher at the intersection of surgical education, biomedical visualization, and urologic oncology. Her work centers on leveraging advanced 3D printing technologies to enhance both clinical outcomes and educational practices in robotic surgery. Dr. Boyd’s most-cited study, “The use of individualized 3D-printed models on trainee and patient education, and surgical planning for robotic partial nephrectomies” (2022, 30 citations), demonstrates her pioneering approach to personalized medicine. In this work, she showed that patient-specific anatomical models significantly improve trainee understanding of complex renal anatomy, boost patient comprehension of their own procedures, and refine preoperative surgical planning for robotic partial nephrectomies. This dual-impact research—advancing both surgical precision and patient-centered care—has been widely recognized for its translational value. Dr. Boyd’s contributions are shaping how future surgeons are trained and how patients engage with their treatment, making her a notable voice in the growing field of 3D-printed surgical simulation. Her work continues to influence curriculum design in urology residencies and inspires further innovation in personalized surgical tools.
