What attendees at the 2nd Annual Current Trends in Liver Disease Symposium had to say:
I was impressed with the new information regarding liver cancer. I was part of the population who thought
this was a very bad diagnosis with no hope but I learned that I needed to approach this diagnosis with hope.
As a new practitioner, in a position where at least 50% of patients are being diagnosed with either hepatitis
or cirrhosis, this activity has assisted me in providing better care for them until I am able to get them seen by
a specialist.
Fatty liver presentation gave concrete information on how to improve patient outcomes.
I know the current recommendations and diagnostics.
Very applicable to my current practice/patient population.
