The Liver Disease Wrap-Up CME course has been a well-received educational forum for practicing physicians wanting to keep up with the latest developments in clinical hepatology. Experienced faculty from the University of Michigan’s Division of Gastroenterology provide this program a mix of clinical research findings along with case-based learning.
This seminar will summarize presentations made at the 59th American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) meeting held in the fall of 2008. New information regarding the management of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, fatty liver disease, and liver cancer will be presented. In addition, case-based discussions on the current approach to patients with hepatitis B and patients with advanced liver disease will be provided.
At the conclusion of this seminar, participants will be able to identify:
•The latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C
•The natural history and treatment of patients with fatty liver disease
•The latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma
