About
Dr. Shabnam Rehman is a pioneering figure in robotic surgery, best known for her transformative work in surgical education and simulation-based training. Her research centers on developing, validating, and implementing structured curricula to teach the fundamental skills of robot-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on urologic oncology. Her landmark multi-institutional randomized controlled trial, which validated the Fundamental Skills of Robotic Surgery (FSRS) curriculum, has been cited over 185 times and established a new standard for training novices. Dr. Rehman also made significant contributions to understanding patient outcomes, including the first 100 consecutive robot-assisted intracorporeal ileal conduits and health-related quality of life after radical cystectomy. Notably, she led a pioneering health economic evaluation demonstrating the cost-effectiveness of simulation-based robotic training. Her work on chemotherapy avoidance and refusal in bladder cancer patients highlights her commitment to patient-centered care. With over 400 cumulative citations, Dr. Rehman’s rigorous validation studies and economic analyses have shaped how surgeons worldwide are trained, ensuring safer, more effective adoption of robotic technology.
