It is with great pleasure that we welcome all of you to the 5th Annual National APAMSA Hepatitis B Conference. Every year over 90 APAMSA students and 20 hepatologists from all over the country attend. This conference will highlight the epidemiology, pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of hepatitis B as well as the advocacy and policy efforts to combat this deadly but preventable disease. The conference goal is to serve as the catalyst for many diverse hepatitis B projects across the country. At this conference, we hope you will develop the networks and receive the resources you need to work together to raise awareness, education, screening and treatment of hepatitis B in your local communities.
