The goal of the CME program is to learn more about current trends, management techniques, recent innovations, and research to treat a full range of liver conditions, including Fatty Liver/NASH, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Cholestatic Diseases, and Liver Transplantation. The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) is the leading organization of scientists and healthcare professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease. The AASLD fosters research that leads to improved treatment options for millions of liver disease patients. They advance the science and practice of hepatology through educational conferences, training programs, professional publications, and partnerships with government agencies and sister societies. Each November, the AASLD holds the Annual Liver Meeting to provide access and education to groundbreaking science, the exchange of ideas with leading clinicians and researchers, and network with peers.
