This interactive symposium aims to position gastroenterologists to improve patient care and outcomes by increasing their awareness of NAFLD/NASH and enhancing their ability to engage patients with NAFLD in the clinical care pathway. Expert faculty will take a deep dive into late-stage clinical trials to address unmet clinical needs and the potential for new agents to address them. Gastroenterologists will benefit from reviewing the safety and efficacy data, as it will help prepare them to quickly integrate new agents into their practice when these agents become available. This is a rebroadcast of the live meeting taking place during ACG 2023 in Vancouver, Canada on October 22, 2023. To participate virtually in the live meeting please click here.

Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Report increased confidence in screening patients for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/ nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
- Determine the next step for a patient being evaluated for NAFLD based on their non-invasive test for fibrosis
- Determine if a patient with a given transient elastography score is at risk for clinically significant fibrosis
- Interpret data from phase 3 clinical trials of novel therapies being investigated for the treatment of NASH
- Identify ways to activate the referral of patients with risk factors for NAFLD/NASH for NAFLD-specific evaluation and treatment
- State intent to change practice regarding activation of the referral base of clinicians in the best positions to identify patients with risk factors for NAFLD/NASH
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of gastroenterologists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician associates.
