Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Hepato-Biliary Surgery
  • International Medical Training

Background:

  • Historically, Australian and English surgeons trained in the UK or USA.
  • Recent trends show a decline in overseas surgical training placements.
  • Concerns about reintegration and lack of awareness of non-English speaking opportunities contribute to this reduction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the evolving landscape of surgical training abroad.
  • To inform surgeons about alternative international training opportunities.
  • To encourage consideration of European training centers for specialized surgical skills.

Main Methods:

  • The authors recount their personal surgical training experiences in France and Switzerland.
  • Focus on training in hepato-biliary surgery within non-English speaking European departments.
  • Implicitly, the abstract suggests a review of current training pathways.

Main Results:

  • The authors gained valuable hepato-biliary surgery experience in European, non-English speaking environments.
  • This experience demonstrates the feasibility and benefit of training in continental Europe.
  • Personal accounts suggest successful integration and skill acquisition.

Conclusions:

  • European centers, particularly non-English speaking ones, present viable and beneficial options for surgical training.
  • Surgeons seeking advanced hepato-biliary surgical skills should consider continental Europe.
  • There is a need to raise awareness of these European training opportunities for surgeons.
