About
Owen Montgomery is a leading figure in surgical education and robotic surgery training, whose work has fundamentally reshaped how surgeons acquire and refine advanced technical skills. His primary research focuses on proficiency-based progression (PBP) methodologies and the development of structured, evidence-based training curricula for minimally invasive and robotic procedures. Montgomery’s most influential contribution is his pioneering work on the Delphi process to create a "train-the-trainer" course for robotic surgery, detailed in his 2019 paper (105 citations). This study established a rigorous, consensus-driven framework for standardizing instructor training, ensuring that surgical educators can effectively teach complex robotic techniques. By emphasizing objective metrics and progressive skill acquisition, his research has directly improved patient safety and surgical outcomes. His impact is evident in the widespread adoption of PBP models across major surgical training programs globally. Montgomery’s work bridges the gap between simulation-based learning and real-world operative performance, making him a pivotal architect of modern surgical pedagogy.
