Ruth L. Ackah's work spans surgical education and clinical/health-services topics in transplantation and general surgery, including organ transplantation outcomes (liver, hand, pediatric transplant), workforce diversity in surgery, and ethical/policy questions around organ donation and access to care. Recent work has shifted more toward surgical training and medical education, including how surgical residents and clerkship students learn clinical decision-making and cope with stress. This body of work would suit students interested in clinical/health-services research bridging surgery, transplantation, and medical education.
