About

Dr. Rachel Rosenthal is a leading figure in surgical education and clinical outcomes research, with a particular focus on minimally invasive surgery and the integration of technology into surgical training. Her major contributions include pioneering work on the development and validation of simulation-based assessments for laparoscopic skills, which has helped establish competency benchmarks for surgical trainees worldwide. She has also been instrumental in studying the impact of surgical volume and specialization on patient outcomes, particularly in complex gastrointestinal and bariatric procedures. With over 14,000 citations, her research has profoundly influenced how surgeons are trained and how surgical quality is measured. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she led a critical study on scalable and resilient SARS-CoV-2 testing protocols in an academic centre, demonstrating her ability to apply rigorous research methods to urgent public health challenges. Dr. Rosenthal’s work consistently bridges the gap between educational theory and clinical practice, making her a highly respected voice in the global surgical community.
