EP-209Introduction: What does hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP) surgery mean and how does the life of the resident in a young team practicing such surgery in a developing country look like? Methods: Surgical residents interested in acquiring advanced training in HBP surgery should take a fellowship in this kind of surgery, spending at least four years in a specialized center. Results: The pre and postoperative management of patients is a core function of a junior doctor, but they have to be involved in every step of the journey represented by complex HBP surgery: from establishing anesthesia routine to training team and taking part in tumor board meetings. Mentorship is also a key factor in promoting and maintaining fulfillment in surgical practice. Conclusions: In a young HBP team, bidirectional growth -both mentors and residents is crucial to developing this king of surgery. Working hard, studying and training every day are very important steps in order to build a career as a HBP surgeon.
