MASLD 360: Advancing Care in Metabolic Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Saturday, May 17, 2025, 7:30 AM - 2:15 PM, Eisenhower Conference Center, Livingston, NJ

Join us for MASLD 360, a comprehensive CME program designed to equip healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills to optimize the diagnosis, treatment, and management of metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This interactive event brings together leading experts in primary care, hepatology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and surgery to explore the latest clinical research and evidence-based approaches for addressing this growing public health concern.

Participants will gain valuable insights into MASLD’s evolving pathophysiology and its relationship with metabolic comorbidities, such as diabetes and obesity. The program will emphasize non-invasive diagnostic strategies, current approaches to managing MASLD, as well as innovative therapeutic modalities—including endobariatrics and metabolic surgery. A multidisciplinary approach to care will be highlighted, with sessions on building and implementing a multidisciplinary care model that fosters collaboration across specialties. Attendees will also learn about emerging medical therapies and drugs in the pipeline that are poised to change the landscape of MASLD management.

As a result of attending MASLD 360, learners will be equipped to integrate advanced diagnostic tools, recommend individualized treatment strategies, and collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams. By applying the latest evidence and innovations, participants will be empowered to improve clinical outcomes for their patients and take a proactive role in addressing the challenges of MASLD in their practices.

Target Audience
This activity is designed for gastroenterologists, hepatologists, surgeons and endocrinologists 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 metabolic associated steatotic liver disease.
