overview

The incidence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is growing rapidly. Patients with or at risk for MASH are underdiagnosed, and thus they may not be benefiting from newly approved liver-directed therapies that can alter the disease course. In this case-based symposium, compete against your colleagues as you trek across desert landscapes in search of critical information about noninvasive testing for MASH, risk stratification, treatment selection and monitoring, and other important topics. The race is on to explore MASH treatments and search for "best practices" that you can implement in your own MASH care pathways. Join us and test your knowledge in this Dash for Mash!

TARGET AUDIENCE

This educational activity is intended for an audience of hepatologists/gastroenterologists and advanced practice providers in the United States.

GOAL STATEMENT

The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to implement clinical care pathways of sequential application of noninvasive tests (NIT) to risk stratify patients with risk factors for MASH so that they can receive evidence-based care, including liver-directed therapy when appropriate.
