2022 UPMC Annual Update in Medical Hepatology

December 3, 2022

The primary purpose of the 2022 UPMC Annual Update in Medical Hepatology is to bring physicians, researchers, and hepatology associates together to advance our understanding of the origin and progression of liver diseases and to provide optimal treatments to patients as soon as possible.  This meeting is led by academic physicians who are committed to broad collaboration to support patients who desperately need answers.

We are delighted to welcome Binu John, MD from the University of Miami and Kymberly Watt, MD from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN as our 2022 guest speakers. We also look forward to lively debates and interactions from all course attendees throughout the day, particularly during the lunch breakout meetings and afternoon case discussions.

This 2022 UPMC Annual Update in Medical Heaptology conference is indebted to its industry partners. Please Visit our Exhibitors in the Gold Room (same floor as plenary sessions) throughout the conference.
