8th Annual Update on Liver Disease: A Multidisciplinary Approach

Saturday, November 21, 2020, 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM

We will not be accepting any registrations after Wednesday, November 18th.

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.
