About
Petrine E Cerri is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of surgical ergonomics, occupational health, and physician wellbeing. Her primary research focus is on the physical and psychological toll of surgical practice, particularly how a surgeon’s dominant surgical modality—whether open, laparoscopic, or robotic—affects their risk for neuromusculoskeletal disorders (NMSDs) and professional burnout. Her most cited paper, "Surgeons’ dominant surgical modality: Impacts on wellbeing, burnout, and interventions for neuromusculoskeletal disorders" (2024, 8 citations), is a landmark survey-based study conducted across an academic integrated multi-hospital system. This work provides some of the first quantitative evidence linking specific surgical modalities to distinct patterns of physical strain and psychological distress, while also cataloging the interventions surgeons use to cope. By bridging the gap between ergonomics and mental health, Cerri’s research offers actionable insights for redesigning surgical workflows and institutional support systems. Her findings are vital for medical educators and hospital administrators seeking to reduce attrition and improve the long-term health of the surgical workforce, making her a leading voice in the emerging field of surgical human factors.
