About
Dr. Lindsey J Powers Happ is a leading researcher in surgical education and simulation-based training, with a particular focus on robotic surgery and skills transfer. Her most cited work, a single-blind randomized controlled trial published in 2016, demonstrated the transferability of virtual reality and simulation-based robotic suturing skills to live porcine models in novice surgeons. This study, with 28 citations, provided critical evidence that simulated training can effectively prepare surgeons for real-world procedures, addressing a key gap in surgical pedagogy. Dr. Powers Happ’s contributions have advanced the understanding of how immersive technologies can accelerate skill acquisition and improve patient safety. Her research is foundational for developing standardized training curricula in robotic surgery, influencing both educational practices and clinical outcomes. By bridging the gap between simulation and live surgery, she has helped shape modern surgical training paradigms, making her work essential reading for educators, trainees, and researchers in surgical simulation and robotics.
