About
Kyle Wohlrab is a clinician-educator and researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of robotic surgery, surgical education, and obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) training. Her research is particularly concerned with how surgical trainees acquire robotic skills and how training programs can better prepare fellows for the operating room. Her most-cited study, "Ready for the robot? A cross-sectional survey of OB/GYN fellowship directors’ experience and expectations of their incoming fellow’s robotic surgical skills" (2020, 7 citations), is a landmark needs-assessment that revealed a critical gap between fellow preparedness and program director expectations. This work directly informed curricular reforms in robotic surgery training, highlighting the need for standardized, simulation-based curricula before fellows enter the clinical environment. Wohlrab’s contributions are vital for shaping competency-based medical education in minimally invasive surgery, ensuring that the next generation of surgeons is "ready for the robot." Her scholarship is highly relevant for educators, program directors, and trainees navigating the rapid integration of surgical robotics into OB/GYN practice.
