Mayo Clinic is committed to taking care of our learners and staff as we address the COVID-19 situation. In order to help protect our communities, and out of an abundance of caution, the School of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is suspending live courses and conferences through December 31, 2020.

At this time, CPD suggests suspending or changing delivery method for Regularly Scheduled Series (RSS) with more than 10 in-person attendees. See individual RSS sessions or any changes to dates, times and delivery methods.

DESCRIPTION
This activity is offered weekly on Thursday, 7:30 - 9:00 a.m.  Educational content typically lasts 1 hour.

The conference is divided into two half hour blocks.

Hepatologists and surgeons involved in the liver transplant service are present and discuss patients who have had a liver biopsy during the previous week.
