About
Dr. Susan G. Dunlow is a pioneering figure in surgical education, with her research fundamentally shaping how robotic-assisted surgical training is conducted. Her work centers on developing standardized curricula and objective outcome measures for robotic surgery, addressing a critical gap as the technology rapidly expanded into operating rooms. Her most impactful study, "Comparison of Two Simulation Systems to Support Robotic-Assisted Surgical Training: A Pilot Study (Swine Model)" (2014), with 55 citations, provided early, essential evidence comparing simulation platforms for training surgeons. This work directly informed the development of validated training protocols. Dr. Dunlow also contributed to the foundational "Fundamentals of Robotic Surgery: Outcomes Measures and Curriculum Development" (2012), which established the metrics and framework for a standardized curriculum now used to certify surgeons in robotic skills. By creating rigorous, evidence-based training pathways, Dr. Dunlow has helped ensure patient safety and surgical competency in the era of robotic surgery, leaving a lasting impact on how future surgeons are educated.
