Description
Summary:The Americas Hepato–Pancreato Biliary Association (AHPBA) Annual 2011 Meeting provided a forum for discussion of multidisciplinary advances surrounding six tracks including the liver, biliary system, liver transplantation, pancreas, imaging and biomedical engineering and general hepato–pancreato biliary (HPB) surgical disease. The meeting and postgraduate courses attracted the largest ever attendance and participation in the AHPBA annual meeting, including field leaders and participants from across North, Central and South America who interchanged clinical and scientific knowledge, and discussed advances in technology, care and outcomes for treatment of HPB diseases. The AHPBA Foundation, established in 2010, announced progress toward support of meritorious research in HPB disease and enrichment of educational programs. HPB fellowship graduates were recognized, marking successful establishment of the AHPBA as an important body guiding HPB education and training in the USA and the Americas.
