Awardee Spotlight

“The Emerging Liver Scholars Program provides an exceptional opportunity to learn about new advances and innovations in hepatology directly from stalwarts in the field. As a young hepatology aspirant, I look forward to networking with programs, future colleagues, and clinicians who share a similar interest and to receiving mentorship from esteemed clinicians from around the globe. Participating in the educational, leadership, and professional development activities offered by this program would help hone my skills and further shape my career goals. The ELS Program is the perfect stepping stone toward my future ambitions, and I am extremely honored to be one of the recipients of this award.”
