About
Dr. Pia Iben Pietersen is a rising figure in surgical education and interventional pulmonology, whose work bridges the gap between emerging technologies and clinical practice. Her primary research focuses on skill transfer in minimally invasive surgery, particularly the critical transition between laparoscopic and robot-assisted techniques. In her landmark 2023 systematic review, Dr. Pietersen synthesized evidence on how surgical competencies translate across platforms—a question of growing importance as robotic systems become more prevalent. This work, already garnering 13 citations, provides essential guidance for designing training curricula that ensure patient safety during technological transitions. Beyond surgical simulation, Dr. Pietersen contributes to pulmonary medicine as part of the European Respiratory Society’s Clinical Techniques, Imaging and Endoscopy Assembly. Her coverage of the 2023 ERS International Congress highlights her role in disseminating cutting-edge developments in interventional pulmonology, from advanced bronchoscopic techniques to novel diagnostic approaches for pulmonary diseases. Through her dual focus on surgical education and respiratory endoscopy, Dr. Pietersen is shaping how clinicians acquire and transfer complex procedural skills in an era of rapid technological evolution.
