22nd Annual Hepatology Symposium - High Impact Hepatology: An Update on Care of the Patient with Liver Disease
Dec 7, 2024 Open Medicine
Description
The practice of clinical Hepatology remains challenging for many gastroenterologists due to rapidly changing disease management paradigms and often complex, critically-ill patients. The 22nd Annual High Impact Hepatology program is specifically designed to bring the latest information from national and international meetings to gastroenterology healthcare providers. Advances in metabolic-associated dysfunction associated liver disease, alcohol induced liver disease, liver cancer, and liver transplantation will be discussed by the UNC Liver Center attending Hepatologists and invited speakers. This iteration of our meeting is designed to address practice gaps for the gastroenterologist, primary care physician, and advanced practice provider. We seek to de-mystify liver-related care and bring practical advice and best-practice guidances to the general gastroenterologist and general internist.
