About
Rodney A. McLaren is a rising investigator in obstetrics and gynecology, with a focused research interest in surgical education and the training disparities affecting minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS). His most-cited work, a 2023 study on “Differences in Exposure to Minimally Invasive Surgery in a Sample of United States Obstetrics and Gynecology Residents,” provides critical insight into the variable access senior residents have to advanced surgical techniques. By conducting a cross-sectional survey of third- and fourth-year residents, McLaren identified systemic gaps in training exposure—a finding that has direct implications for curriculum reform and patient safety. Although early in his career, his work has already garnered attention for addressing a pressing issue in graduate medical education. His contributions highlight the need for standardized, equitable surgical training to ensure that all future obstetrician-gynecologists are proficient in MIGS. As a researcher committed to improving both educational outcomes and clinical care, McLaren’s scholarship is poised to influence how residency programs structure their operative experiences for years to come.
