About

Nadine Haram is a leading researcher in the fields of surgical robotics, telemedicine, and medical education, with a particular focus on remote surgical training and telementoring. Her most impactful work addresses the critical challenge of maintaining surgical training continuity during global disruptions, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic. Haram’s landmark study, “Utilising an Accelerated Delphi Process to Develop Guidance and Protocols for Telepresence Applications in Remote Robotic Surgery Training” (2020), has garnered 41 citations and provides essential, consensus-driven frameworks for integrating telepresence into robot-assisted surgery training. This work established practical protocols for setting up and running optimised telementoring services, directly enabling trainers and proctors to overcome travel restrictions and continue educating surgeons remotely. By systematically addressing the technical, procedural, and safety considerations of remote proctoring, Haram has helped accelerate the adoption of telepresence in surgical education, ensuring that the expansion of robot-assisted surgery is supported by robust, evidence-based training methodologies. Her contributions are pivotal for the future of global surgical collaboration and skill dissemination.
