Liver Transplantation: Where Are We Now and Where Are We Going?

We will discuss the rapidly changing epidemiology of liver transplant causes, the surprising news about transplant rates and long-term outcomes, and how to improve the likelihood of successful transplants.

No comments? All I can say is that posting Grand Rounds is a great service globally. Here I am, an infectious disease epidemiologist at a certain major School of Public Health and School of Medicine about 550 miles north of you but south of the Canadian border, and UCSF Grand Rounds is the first place that I “go” for continuing education and new thinking on various topics of medical and public health thinking. Thus, a deep thanks to you, my colleagues. It is always worth an hour to watch Grand Rounds.
