About

Sharon L. Bachman is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing surgical education and the integration of robotic technology. Her research focuses on the development and validation of training protocols for complex laparoscopic and robotic procedures, particularly using the daVinci surgical system. Bachman’s seminal work, "Multiservice laparoscopic surgical training using the daVinci surgical system" (2004, 77 citations), established foundational curricula for multispecialty robotic training, demonstrating how simulation-based education can safely introduce new technology into practice. She further explored the role of structured learning environments in "Value of the SAGES Learning Center in introducing new technology" (2005, 28 citations), highlighting the importance of hands-on workshops for adopting innovative surgical tools. Her contributions have directly shaped modern surgical training paradigms, emphasizing patient safety and skill acquisition. As a leader in surgical education, Bachman’s work continues to influence how surgeons worldwide prepare for the operating room.
