The focus, in this era of transplantation, cannot only rely on short term allograft function, but rather long term allograft outcomes. This course will help attendees identify and treat liver disease after transplantation to maximize allograft function; understand and implement new perfusion strategies to preserve allograft function; and continually measure quality of care in terms of transplant outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Target Audience:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hepatologists<\/li>\n<li>Gastroenterologists<\/li>\n<li>Surgeons<\/li>\n<li>Fellows\/Trainees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Core Competencies: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Patient Care and Procedural Skills<\/li>\n<li>Medical Knowledge<\/li>\n<li>Practice Based Learning and Improvement<\/li>\n<li>Quality Improvement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ilts--is-shortcode\"><p><div class=\"spacer25\"><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Course Agenda and further information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aasld.org\/events-professional-development\/liver-meeting\/aasldilts\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Liver Meeting \u00ae, AASLD Walter E.
