Great work of our postdoc Samy Castillo, MD presenting robotic skills decay after training gaps at Association for Surgical Education meeting Even after 3 months of discontinuing training (after proficiency), robotic skills decreased significantly Alert ‼️ PDs. Samy is applying to #GenSurgMatch2026
