Four reasons why aspiring hepatobiliary surgeons from across the region choose this mentorship program to shape their surgical careers.
Two Decades of Expertise
Learn directly from a surgeon with two decades of hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and liver transplant experience across Bangladesh and international centres.
Live Operating Theatre
Stand beside Dr. Arefin in real operating theatres on complex liver and pancreatic cases — actual surgeries, not simulations or recordings.
International Faculty
Tap into a global academic network of hepatobiliary specialists, transplant centres, and research collaborators built over years of international practice.
One-on-One Mentoring
Every trainee receives individual case discussions, surgical feedback, and career guidance tailored to their specific learning goals and clinical strengths.
Your Mentorship Journey
A structured four-phase pathway from foundational theory to independent HPB practice — mentored end-to-end by Dr. Arefin and a senior fellowship faculty.
Foundations & Orientation
Trainees begin with structured orientation in hepatobiliary anatomy, imaging interpretation, and case-based theory. Dr. Arefin and senior fellows establish baseline knowledge, OT etiquette, and the standards expected throughout the programme.
Tasks Involved
Observership & Assist
Phase two places you in live operating theatres — observing, scrubbing, and assisting in laparoscopic and open hepatobiliary cases. You learn intra-operative decision-making, tissue handling, and team dynamics under direct supervision.
Tasks Involved
Hands-On Operating
Trainees progressively perform graded steps of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, bile duct exploration, and selected liver/pancreatic procedures — always under Dr. Arefin's direct supervision, with structured feedback after every case.
Tasks Involved
Independence & Certification
In the final phase, fellows manage cases end-to-end — pre-op planning, surgery, and post-op care — and complete a portfolio review and exit assessment. Successful trainees graduate certified to practise independent HPB surgery.
