About

Denesh Peramakumar is a dynamic force in surgical education and health professions research, with a focus on plastic surgery, medical training innovation, and knowledge translation. His work spans from pioneering bibliometric analyses—such as a 25-year retrospective of Canadian plastic surgery research—to evaluating cutting-edge tools like extended reality simulators for ophthalmic training, which synthesized data from 17,623 eyes. Peramakumar has been instrumental in developing and assessing digital and virtual educational resources, including a bilingual career orientation tool (ExploreMD), a Canadian surgical education app for Saudi trainees, and the "Doctority Canada: Plastic Surgery" podcast. He has also explored the impact of social media on medical information quality, as seen in his study on shoulder dislocation content on TikTok. With over a dozen highly cited papers, his work consistently bridges innovation and practical skill development, addressing topics from robotic surgery training to near-peer tutoring and generative AI in medical education. His contributions are shaping how future surgeons are trained, making him a leading voice in modern surgical pedagogy.
