About
Dr. Marc Colaco is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on surgical education, simulation-based training, and the advancement of robotic surgery. His most-cited study, "Initial experiences with RoSS surgical simulator in residency training: a validity and model analysis" (2012, 8 citations), provides foundational evidence for the use of the Robotic Surgical Simulator (RoSS) in residency programs. This work critically evaluates the simulator's construct validity and its effectiveness in developing robotic surgical skills, helping to shape modern training curricula. By demonstrating how simulation can bridge the gap between didactic learning and live operating, Colaco has contributed to safer, more standardized surgical education. His research underscores the importance of objective assessment tools in residency, influencing how institutions integrate robotic training. While his citation count reflects a focused, early-career impact, his work remains a reference point for studies on surgical simulation and urologic training methodologies.
