About
Sun Young Hwang is a leading figure in surgical simulation and robotic surgery training, with a particular focus on developing accessible, high-fidelity educational tools. Her most cited work, a 2019 randomized control study, directly compared the effectiveness of her custom-made skills simulator (CMSS) against the commercially available da Vinci Skills Simulator (DVSS). This research demonstrated that cost-effective, locally developed simulators could match or even surpass commercial alternatives in training efficacy, a finding with profound implications for expanding surgical education in resource-limited settings. Hwang’s contributions have been cited over 7 times, establishing her as an innovator in surgical pedagogy. By systematically validating her CMSS through rigorous clinical trials, she has provided a scalable model for improving robotic surgery training worldwide. Her work not only advances technical skill acquisition but also addresses critical issues of equity and access in surgical education, making her a pivotal voice in the future of minimally invasive surgery training.
