At the end of each year, expert faculty will present the most current research that is related to your clinical practice as presented at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases’ The Liver Meeting®.
Over dinner, these topics will be explored through lectures and case presentations. This update is a valuable opportunity if you do not typically attend the national meeting but want to stay up-to-date on the most clinically important research. The intended audience is for physicians, advanced practice providers, and transplant coordinators.
