Today we announce a new Project Echo program for healthcare providers that will bring treatment and prevention best practices for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) to non-liver experts. The Liver Health ECHO Program is a virtual community of practice developed to equip healthcare providers with the necessary skills to treat and prevent NAFLD among their patients. Within this network, participants will gain support and mentorship, enhance their skills, and connect with leaders in the field all at no cost. Learn more here: https://liver.news/Echo
