Thank you for visiting the official AHPBA website. My name is Bill Jarnagin, the current President of the AHPBA, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to our organization. We represent both surgical and non-surgical specialists throughout North, South and Central America who care for patients with diseases of the liver, pancreas, and biliary tree.

Our mission is to encourage the interchange of clinical and scientific knowledge among surgeons, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, and members of related disciplines. We foster friendship and collaboration among clinicians and scientists to advance both science and patient care. Our organization also promotes education and career development of trainees and physicians in practice. We also welcome and actively promote the involvement of allied health professionals.

I encourage you to browse through our members’ contributions to this website, including education and training, consensus conference statements, and of course our annual meeting. Please also consider joining our society, and become part of a growing and vibrant association that could enhance your knowledge, professional growth, as well as patient care.
