Education and Training 

|

Educating healthcare professionals, scientists, and the public about liver disease is one of AASLD's core goals. AASLD has a very strong Continuing Medical Education (CME) program that enables us to disseminate information about liver biology and disease, provide a forum for discussing new and/or controversial issues, and foster evidence-based strategies for the practice of hepatology, liver transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery. 

The educational activities sponsored, co-sponsored or jointly sponsored by AASLD always feature expert speakers who address the pathophysiology and management of acute and chronic diseases, as well as advances in research relevant to hepatology and liver transplantation.

In addition to our educational conferences and meetings, we educate professionals and the public through:

• Peer-reviewed practice guidelines.
  
  
• High quality journals.
  
  
• FREE web-based education that includes, The Best of The Liver Meeting® 2009 and education slide sets.
  
  
• Joint educational meetings with other U.S. and international societies.
  
  
• Educational programs and materials in support of GI recertification requirements.
  
  
• Regularly updated list of Hepatology Training Programs in the U.S. and Canada.
  
  
• Collaboration with the American Liver Foundation (ALF) and other related societies.
  
  
• Accreditation with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
