In my association with doctors from the AASLD, I’ve seen such a genuine desire to make the best choices for each patient’s individual needs. They compile numbers from all over the country to try and find a trend in symptoms and side effects. These men and women have devoted their lives to studying liver disease. Recently, they held another webinar just to help us better understand COVID-19.

Before co-moderating, I attended a rehearsal so I could learn how to click all the right buttons. Attending any AASLD meeting always leaves me feeling supported and cared for. You will too. Guaranteed.

Check out the list of topics they discussed.
