Boston Medical Center - Brighton has been serving the Boston area since its founding in 1867 and is a major teaching hospital affiliated with the Boston University School of Medicine.
The Minimally Invasive Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Fellowship Program offers a world class training experience in the care for patients with diseases of liver, pancreas, biliary tract and duodenum. Our fellows not only become certified in Robotics, but also learn cutting edge laparoscopic techniques that are rarely available in the United States. Over the training period, our fellows learn to help patients with complex HPB disease in a less traumatic way, thereby gaining a competitive advantage in the challenging job market today.
Boston Medical Center - Brighton serves as the main tertiary referral site for a network of 10 hospitals across eastern Massachusetts. Our multidisciplinary oncology care, through the Harvard Dana Farber Cancer Center at Boston Medical Center - Brighton, gives our fellows the opportunity to integrate their surgical knowledge into evidence based oncologic care. Furthermore, mentorship in academic work has led our fellows to publish frequently in top peer-reviewed journals and present at key national and international conferences in the field of HPB surgery.
One of the hallmarks of the program is the close and collegial relationship between the fellows and the staff. The team works together to seamlessly integrate clinical and research collaborations, maximizing professional exchange on a scale that is unparalleled in post-graduate surgical training.
