Join us for an exclusive online teaching session led by the renowned Professor Arun Sanyal, M.D., the leading global expert in liver diseases, including MASH (Metabolic Associated Steatohepatitis). This session is specifically designed for physicians and healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with MASH and metabolic syndrome.

This session is part of a six part series presented by global MASH experts.

Session Overview

In this session, Professor Sanyal will provide in-depth insights into the emerging role of GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) in the treatment of MASH and associated metabolic syndrome. Participants will have the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field.

Incorporate New Insights on GLP-1:

Learn about the latest updates in the role of GLP-1 in managing MASH and metabolic syndrome and how the latest advances in GLP-1-based therapies can be integrated into patient care to improve outcomes.

Understand and Communicate the Mechanism of Action:

Gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which GLP-1 influences metabolic processes and MASH progression. Gain the ability to communicate these mechanisms effectively to patients and colleagues.

Critically Evaluate Latest Research and Clinical Trials:

Engage with the most recent research findings and clinical trial results on GLP-1-related therapies. Learn to apply the evidence to optimize patient treatment plans, in alignment with the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) guidelines.
