About
Lisette Hvid Hovgaard is a distinguished researcher in surgical education and robotic simulation, with a primary focus on advancing procedural competency assessment. Her most influential work, "Validity evidence for procedural competency in virtual reality robotic simulation, establishing a credible pass/fail standard for the vaginal cuff closure procedure" (2018), has garnered 25 citations, underscoring its significance in the field. Hovgaard's major contribution lies in developing rigorous, evidence-based standards for evaluating surgical skills in virtual environments, particularly for complex gynecologic procedures. By establishing credible pass/fail thresholds for robotic simulation, she has helped bridge the gap between simulated training and real-world surgical performance, enhancing patient safety and training efficacy. Her research provides a framework for objective competency assessment, enabling educators to reliably determine when trainees are ready for clinical practice. Hovgaard’s work is notable for its practical impact on surgical curricula and its role in validating simulation as a high-stakes assessment tool. Through her rigorous methodology and focus on procedural validity, she has become a key figure in shaping modern surgical education, ensuring that virtual reality training translates into measurable, real-world competence.
