5th Annual Hepatology Update for Primary Care: A Practical Approach
LIVE (In-Person) and LIVESTREAM (Virtual) attendance options are available.
Liver diseases have become more prevalent and primary care healthcare professionals and practitioners face challenges in prompt recognition, diagnosis and management. The burden of liver ailments is further expected to increase.
The goal of this meeting is to provide an overview of the most common liver diseases seen in the community and to bridge the learning gap between primary care and the latest advances and developments in the field of hepatology. Given the rapid pace of clinical growth in hepatology in the past decade, bridging this gap is particularly significant. A practical approach will be presented that attendees can integrate into their daily practice.
