Introduction : There is great variance in the education and training of Korean hepatobiliary and pancreatic (HBP) surgical fellows because it has been provided on an individual hospital basis. We performed a survey to assess the current educational status of Korean HBP surgical fellows, prior to the development of an education program for fellows by the Korean Association of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (KAHBPS).
Methods : Questionnaires were emailed to all 45 fellow members of the KAHBPS from April to December of 2017. The survey was comprised of 22 questions. Questions were related to their experience in surgery and academic research, preferred workplace after fellowship, and opinions on fellow education programs they want to receive.
Results : 25 (55%) fellows from 14 hospitals responded to the survey. There was a wide variation in surgical experiences: 97?27.1 cases of cholecystectomy, 5.6?0.0 cases of hepatectomy, and 4.6?1.2 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy. The average number of journal publications was 0.5?.8. 18 (72%) had no experience with journal publication. Preferred workplace after fellowship was university hospital, but changed during fellowship; 17 (68%) at beginning and 12 (50%) at survey. When asked about preferred education for an education program, journal writing (16, 64%) was most, followed by surgical technique (15, 62%).
Conclusions : The results showed that surgical experience varied widely among fellows, and experience with journal publication was very limited. To complement the inadequacy of the individual hospital-based education, the society should develop education programs that decrease the gap of surgical experiences among fellows, and increase the competency for academic paper writing and research.
