About
Genevieve Dulan is a surgical education researcher whose work has made a significant impact on the standardization and advancement of robotic surgery training. Her scholarship is concentrated at the intersection of surgical simulation, proficiency-based learning, and curriculum development, with a particular focus on equipping surgeons across multiple disciplines — including general surgery, urology, and gynecology — with the skills needed to perform robotic procedures safely and effectively. In 2012, Dulan produced a remarkably prolific body of research that collectively garnered over 350 citations, establishing her as a foundational voice in robotic surgical education. Her studies rigorously examined the construct validity, reliability, and feasibility of inanimate training exercises, demonstrating that structured, proficiency-based programs could meaningfully differentiate skill levels and deliver measurable educational benefit. By defining expert performance benchmarks for nine discrete robotic exercises, her work gave training programs a concrete, evidence-based framework to work from. Dulan's contributions are especially notable for their cross-specialty applicability and their emphasis on workload assessment alongside technical skill, offering a more holistic understanding of surgical competency that continues to influence how robotic surgery curricula are designed and evaluated today.
