About
Dr. Margaret Turlington is a pioneering surgical educator whose work centers on the integration of robotic technology into surgical training. Her research focuses on the critical gap between the rapid adoption of robotic surgery and the preparedness of surgical residents to use these systems effectively. In her landmark 2024 study, "Early Implementation of Robotic Training in Surgical and Surgical Subspecialty Residency," Dr. Turlington evaluated the experiences and opinions of early surgical trainees after an introductory da Vinci robotic training course. This work, already garnering attention with 2 citations in its first year, provides essential evidence for restructuring residency curricula to include structured, early robotic exposure. By identifying the barriers and benefits of early implementation, Dr. Turlington is directly shaping how future surgeons are trained in minimally invasive techniques. Her contributions are vital for ensuring patient safety and surgical competence in an era where robotic-assisted procedures are becoming standard across multiple specialties. Dr. Turlington’s research is a cornerstone for educators and program directors seeking to modernize surgical residency training.
