Do you know a patient or patient advocate that would be interested in serving on an AASLD Committee?

Patient representatives are a vital part of our community, and as such we have committee positions that provide the patient voice in our AASLD work. We are currently accepting nominations for committee service to begin in 2024. AASLD Members are encouraged to nominate patient representatives. AASLD membership is not required for appointment to these positions and non-members representing the patient community may apply.
