About

Maria B. Majella Doyle is a pioneering surgeon-educator at the forefront of robotic-assisted transplant surgery. Her research centers on developing objective, metrics-based assessment models to train surgical fellows in complex procedures like robot-assisted living donor nephrectomy. Dr. Doyle’s major contribution is the creation of validated performance metrics that objectively measure fellow proficiency, moving beyond subjective evaluations to ensure safer, more consistent surgical outcomes. Her 2022 paper on a novel assessment model for teaching this technique has garnered 11 citations, while her 2024 follow-up study on robotic performance metrics has already attracted 6 citations, reflecting growing interest in standardized surgical training. Additionally, her work on Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary fellow expectations (6 citations) highlights her commitment to aligning training programs with trainee needs. Dr. Doyle’s innovative approach not only advances transplant surgery education but also sets a new standard for competency-based assessment in robotic surgery, directly impacting patient safety and surgical excellence.
