The link above provides a terrific overview (Hepatology 2013; 58: 458-476) of the development of pediatric hepatology as a subspecialty. For someone who was incredibly fortunate enough to train in the mid-1990s (right place, right time, right colleagues), I enjoyed finding out more about the decades that preceded my fellowship. In addition, the article provides insight into the personal background of one of my mentors (thanks for Figure 1) and about a few patients that provided the clinical challenge for furthering the understanding of the pathophysiology of hepatobiliary disorders.
