Education is a key mission of the Boyer Liver Institute. Our researchers write articles about the diagnosis and treatment of liver disease for medical professionals as well as for members of the public. The institute sponsors Arizona-based health outreach programs, such as screenings for hepatitis C. Members of the institute also participate in medical meetings and conferences nationally and internationally where their latest research is discussed.
