who wish to learn more about recent advances in liver disease.

practical-based knowledge in the following areas:
1. Discuss the rapid rise of fatty liver disease and its implications for
the general health of the patient, as well as for the risk of progressive
liver disease.
2. Explore the rationale, mechanisms of action, and preliminary results
with new direct acting antiviral agents in development for the management
of Hepatitis C.

antiviral agents and the avoidance of dose reductions.

treatment options and guidelines for the patient
5. Review the current indications and contraindications of liver
