About

Dr. Beverley A. Petrie is a leading voice in surgical education, with a focused research program on the integration of robotic technology into colorectal and general surgery training. Her work critically examines the evolving landscape of residency curricula, asking whether robotic surgery training should be prioritized alongside traditional open and laparoscopic approaches. In her most-cited study, "Current status of robotic surgery in colorectal residency training programs" (2021, 14 citations), Dr. Petrie provides a comprehensive snapshot of how training programs are—or are not—adapting to the rise of robotic platforms. She further amplifies this conversation through a survey of fellowship program directors (2020, 9 citations), revealing the perspectives of those who ultimately shape the next generation of surgeons. By documenting the gap between technological adoption and educational preparedness, Dr. Petrie’s work serves as a critical resource for curriculum designers and residency leaders. Her research is essential reading for any trainee or educator navigating the future of minimally invasive surgery.
