2019 Emerging Liver Scholars

Now in its eighth year, AASLD Foundation's Emerging Liver Scholars program will host 40 young physicians at The Liver Meeting® 2019 in Boston.

Chosen from a highly qualified applicant pool of 139 individuals, these trainees have received grants covering travel, housing, and meeting expenses. In addition to attending the meeting with an AASLD member/mentor from their institution, the ELS attendees will have the opportunity to attend special events specifically suited to their current and future academic needs.
