Lora has served on the Ergonomics in Surgery Committee for the American College of Surgeons to develop ergonomics recommendations that reduce injuries. At the ACS 2023 annual meeting, she coordinated an eight-hour surgical ergonomics training clinic – during which a few hundred surgeons received one-on-one instruction on ergonomics best practices. One goal of the clinic was to change the culture of surgery to allow surgeons of all levels of seniority to prioritize their safety and health.
