Summary

This study uses an online survey to learn about the daily work of surgeons specializing in the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts (HPB surgeons). The survey asks members of a professional association about their practice patterns, such as whether they work alone or in teams. The goal is to see if current training matches real-world practice and to identify potential improvements for future surgeons.

What this could lead to
If successful, this survey could highlight gaps in HPB surgeon training and guide changes to better prepare future surgeons.
What could go wrong
