Dr. Leigh Rosen is an author on a prospective cohort study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, published in the International Urogynecology Journal, investigating whether immediate preoperative simulation training improves resident performance during retropubic midurethral sling (MUS) surgery for stress urinary incontinence. Over an 8-month period, residents who underwent simulation training immediately before surgery were compared with residents who did not. The team measured operative time and used the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) global rating scale to evaluate resident proficiency — providing one of the first prospective evaluations of immediate-preop simulation as a tool for improving surgical efficiency and teaching anti-incontinence procedures.
