Welcome
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 5th Pediatric Autoimmune Liver Disease Symposium (PALDS). This conference is sponsored by the Center for Autoimmune Liver Disease (CALD) and the Autoimmune Liver disease Network for Kids (A-LiNK) based at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC).
This conference is for all individuals interested in or impacted by autoimmune hepatitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis including gastroenterologists, clinical and research fellows, nurses and nurse practitioners, dietitians, patients and families.
This year you can choose to experience the conference in-person or online. It is our hope that you will be able to interact as scientists, patients, families, physicians, stakeholders, and advocates to identify the best practice variability relating to treatment protocols and develop outcome measures to form the basis of future efforts.
Thank you for considering attending our conference and bringing your expertise to our gathering. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all the participants, financial sponsors, supporting organizations, and committee members who will make this 5th Pediatric Autoimmune Liver Disease Symposium successful.
