To learn and to share: Hepatobiliary, Pancreatic Surgery and Manuscript Writing Symposium

There is tremendous discrepancy between the clinical experience in Non-English Speaking countries and its ability to relate that experience to the rest of the scientific world via peer-reviewed manuscripts in the English-speaking world. One of the areas in which that gulf is most evident is in hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease. There is a significant amount of basic and clinical research and education surrounding such areas, but because of a lack of sophistication in writing, these efforts are not recognized.
