CME Outfitters

Online
Nov 20, 2014 - Nov 20, 2015

This CME Outfitters Journal Club will facilitate a discussion of these issues and move clinicians toward immediate implementation of recommended therapy for appropriate patients found to have HBV infection. Using the 2011 article from Digestive Diseases and Science entitled, The Management of Chronic Hepatitis B in Asian Americans as a springboard, the 60-minute, live audio webcast will feature a discussion among authors about the key results of the research and how that translates to better patient care in practice. The Journal Club webcast will offer a live Q&A for learners to ask questions, and exchange ideas and insights with the faculty, Kris V. Kowdley, MD, FACP, FACG, AGAF, and Steven-Huy Han, MD, AGAF, FAASLD.

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

  • Gain knowledge of treatment guidelines by The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and implement first-line agents in appropriate patients with hepatitis B virus infection.
