About
Sarah E. Adkins is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical education and robotics, dedicated to demystifying advanced surgical technologies for the next generation of clinicians. Her work centers on developing intuitive, accessible training frameworks that bridge the gap between engineering and medicine, ensuring that pre-clinical medical students can confidently engage with robotic surgery before entering the operating room. Her most-cited paper, "Making surgical education intuitive: A surgical robotics primer for pre-clinical medical students" (2024), has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting its immediate impact as a foundational resource in a rapidly evolving field. Adkins’ contributions are notable for their focus on early-stage education—a critical yet often overlooked area—where she has designed curricula that prioritize hands-on, simulation-based learning over passive instruction. By creating a scalable, evidence-based primer, she is helping to standardize robotic surgery training and reduce the learning curve for future surgeons. Her work not only advances pedagogical methods but also addresses pressing needs in patient safety and surgical precision, positioning her as a key voice in shaping how tomorrow’s doctors are trained.
