About
Rebecca Hopps is a researcher focused on advancing gastrointestinal endoscopy through simulation-based training and robotic technology. Her work centers on improving colonoscopy techniques to enhance patient comfort and procedural safety. Her most-cited paper, "Assessment of technical parameters and skills training to inform a simulation-based training program for semi-automated robotic colonoscopy" (2019), evaluates the training requirements and user acceptability of a novel robotic colonoscope, addressing key limitations of conventional video-colonoscopy such as patient discomfort and complication risks. Although early in her career, with 2 citations on this foundational study, Hopps contributes to a critical area of medical device innovation and educational methodology. Her research bridges engineering and clinical practice, aiming to develop structured training programs that optimize operator proficiency with semi-automated systems. This work holds promise for reducing procedural barriers and improving outcomes in colorectal cancer screening, positioning Hopps as an emerging voice in the intersection of simulation-based medical education and robotic endoscopy.
