About
Clark Judge is a pediatric urologist whose research critically examines disparities in surgical access and outcomes, with a focus on robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery in children. His most cited work, a 2022 institutional study, investigates whether race and payer status affect access to robotic procedures in pediatric urology—a pioneering contribution to health equity in minimally invasive surgery. By analyzing real-world data from a tertiary academic medical center, Judge identifies plausible systemic barriers, highlighting how socioeconomic factors can influence surgical care delivery even in advanced settings. This work, with 8 citations, underscores his commitment to translating clinical observation into actionable insights for more equitable healthcare. Judge’s research bridges urology, health policy, and pediatric surgery, offering a model for how institutions can audit their own practices. His findings challenge assumptions of uniform access to innovation, making him a key voice in the growing movement to address disparities in surgical technology. For students and researchers, Judge’s work is a compelling call to examine not just surgical outcomes, but the pathways that lead patients to the operating room.
