The Regional Expansion Advanced Learning (REAL) project is an initiative by the ILTS Education Committee to reach out to the regions of Southeast Asia and South Asia and its surrounding regions through education activities. We have gathered much feedback from you through the survey which we have conducted in 2020 and we have successfully organised a few high-quality Webinars for all of you. This year, we look forward to continue engaging our partners in the region!

 

In the First ILTS REAL Webinar for South Asia and Southeast Asia in 2022, we will explore the issues related to transplant oncology. The world renowned leaders in this field will share their insights and updated evidence and recommendations for transplant oncology involving advanced HCC and neuroendocrine liver metastasis.

 

Come join us at the ILTS REAL Webinar (For Southeast Asian and South Asian region)!

 

Objectives

The Regional Expansion Advanced Learning project is an initiative by the ILTS Education Committee to reach out to the regions of Southeast Asia and South Asia and its surrounding regions through education activities. Through educational events such as the REAL webinars, we will be inviting eminent speakers in the field of liver transplantation to share their experience with the liver transplant community in the Southeast Asian and South Asian region, with the hope to enhance the partnership with the local LT community to build knowledge and skills in this area.

We also hope to create communication channels for members from the region to connect with one another through the ILTS REAL program. We would love to hear from you any suggestions on the topics which might interest you in the future!
