History[edit | edit source]

The AASLD was established in 1950 by a group of 12 leading hepatologists. Since its inception, the organization has been dedicated to advancing the science and practice of hepatology through educational programs, research, and advocacy.

Mission[edit | edit source]

The mission of the AASLD is to advance and disseminate the science and practice of hepatology, and to promote liver health and quality patient care. The organization achieves this through:

Activities[edit | edit source]

The AASLD hosts an annual meeting known as "The Liver Meeting," which is one of the largest gatherings of liver specialists in the world. The meeting provides a platform for the presentation of new research, discussion of clinical practices, and networking among professionals.

The organization also publishes the journal Hepatology, which features original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies related to liver diseases.
