About

Dr. Michael Stenger is a leading figure in thoracic surgical education, recognized for his pioneering work in simulation-based training and curriculum development. His research centers on identifying and prioritizing technical procedures essential for integrating simulation into thoracic surgery training, addressing a critical gap in surgical pedagogy. In his landmark 2023 study, "Consensus on technical procedures for simulation-based training in thoracic surgery: an international needs assessment," Dr. Stenger led a rigorous three-round Delphi survey involving 34 key opinion leaders from 14 countries. This work, which has garnered 13 citations, established a global consensus on the most critical procedures for simulation-based curricula, providing a foundational framework for standardizing training worldwide. His contributions are instrumental in shaping how future thoracic surgeons acquire technical skills, emphasizing evidence-based, collaborative approaches to education. Dr. Stenger’s efforts have not only advanced surgical training methodologies but also fostered international cooperation, making him a pivotal voice in modern thoracic surgery education.
