Pre-registration closes Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 11:59 pm. On site registration will be available.

The complexity and magnitude of medical advances in the management of liver disease make it ever more difficult for clinicians to apply this tremendous amount of information to their practice. This activity will provide learners with a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art advances in the diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities of liver disease based on the latest evidence, literature, and clinical research. A thorough review of the current treatment landscape is vital to both clinicians and patients who can benefit from this expansion of therapeutic options.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for gastroenterologists and hepatologists as well as primary care clinicians including medical internists, family practice physicians, nurses, advanced practice nurses, pharmacists, and physician assistants involved in the diagnosis, management and treatment of patients with liver disease.
