About
Dr. Regina Harders is a leading figure in surgical education, with a focused expertise in the development and validation of robotic surgery training curricula. Her most impactful work centers on the objective assessment of technical skills, a critical challenge in the era of minimally invasive surgery. In her landmark 2014 study, "Robotic Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills," Dr. Harders led a multi-institutional effort involving 165 residents from gynecology and urology programs. This work, which has garnered 16 citations, provided robust evidence that a structured dry laboratory curriculum significantly improves fundamental robotic skills for trainees. By establishing a standardized, objective method for evaluating performance, her research has directly influenced how surgical programs train and credential the next generation of robotic surgeons. Dr. Harders’ contributions are foundational for ensuring patient safety and procedural competency, making her a key architect of modern surgical simulation and assessment methodologies.
