18th Annual Liver Disease Update 2017

Brookfield, WI US
April 28, 2017

The field of Hepatology is rapidly evolving. Staying up to date with new diagnostics and therapeutics is essential for health care providers that are evaluating and managing patients with liver disease. Our internal data including referral patterns, discussions with referring providers and review of external provider evaluations demonstrates that there are significant gaps. These deficiencies provide an excellent opportunity to share new developments with those referring as well as caring for our patients.

In addition, as is our custom in previous years of this conference, all attendees are asked for input regarding topics that they identify as deficient in terms of knowledge. These topics also help to form the basis for future conference topics.

The Medical College of Wisconsin is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Medical College of Wisconsin designates this live activity for a maximum of 6.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.  Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
