About

Integrative management of liver diseases

The annual HEP Preceptorship has continuously evolved since its foundation in 2013, always adapting to the changing needs of hepatologists and the latest developments in the field. The course now benefits from an expanded Scientific Committee, bringing additional expertise and perspectives to the development of the scientific program.

With this strengthened foundation, the upcoming edition in April 2027 marks a new step forward. The program will place an even stronger emphasis on interactivity, featuring innovative formats designed to foster exchange, discussion, and practical learning. Participants can expect a comprehensive update on hepatology, with dedicated sessions on rare liver diseases, interdisciplinary approaches, and emerging technologies shaping the future of patient care.

Designed for motivated hepatologists seeking a true deep dive into clinically relevant topics, the HEP Preceptorship offers a unique opportunity to engage with peers, share experiences, and discuss real-world challenges in a highly collaborative setting.

We look forward to welcoming around 45 committed participants to this next chapter of the HEP Preceptorship—an inspiring environment to learn, connect, and shape the future of hepatology together.
