Dear APAMSA Members and Alumni,
We are excited to announce that early-bird registration for the 16th Annual National APAMSA Hepatitis B/C Conference is now open! After two years of virtual conferences, we are excited to welcome you all to an in-person conference at the George Washington University Milken School of Public Health on November 5th, 2022 from 8 AM to 5 PM EST.
Each year, we strive to collectively engage in the global fight against liver diseases, including hepatitis B and C. The objectives of this year’s conference is to raise awareness about the impact of liver diseases on the AANHPI community, encourage future health care providers to advocate for initiatives to address health disparities that disproportionately affect the AANHPI population, and to provide an opportunity for health professional students to network with prominent leaders in hepatology.
Early-bird registration is $30 and will end on October 6th, after which the price will increase. Please check out the instructions below on how to register as well as the deadlines. For more information about the conference, please visit our website.
