LIMES™ is a structured curriculum in hepatology and liver transplant medicine — built for medical students who want to go deeper, earlier.
Start LearningEach topic is built for the level you're at — whether you're an M1 seeing a jaundiced patient for the first time, or an M4 preparing your capstone.
The hepatology history has specific inflection points most standard curricula miss — alcohol quantification, herbal supplements, family history of liver disease.
Read topic InterpretationAST, ALT, ALP, GGT, bilirubin — learn the patterns that distinguish hepatocellular from cholestatic injury and when to act on mild elevations.
Read topic Core DiseaseThe full spectrum: portal hypertension, ascites, SBP, varices, HRS, HE, and HCC surveillance — with management principles at each stage.
Read topic Scoring SystemsFrom TIPS trials to MELD 3.0 — the full history, formula, and clinical application of the score that determines who gets a liver.
Read topic Transplant MedicineAcute liver failure, decompensated cirrhosis, HCC, and beyond — how patients are listed and what moves them up the waitlist.
Read topic Clinical SkillsSpider angiomata, palmar erythema, caput medusae, shifting dullness — the findings that tell a story before the labs come back.
Read topic Supportive CareSarcopenia is an independent predictor of mortality and waitlist dropout. Learn why nutrition is a therapeutic intervention, not an afterthought.
Read topic IntestinalShort gut syndrome, parenteral nutrition dependence, and the rare but critical indications for intestinal transplant — a field most students never encounter.
Read topicIn 2023, 62% of transplant hepatology fellowship positions went unfilled. A projected 35% shortage of hepatology providers is expected by 2033. The problem starts in medical school.
LIMES™ was built to address the gap between what standard curricula cover and what future physicians — regardless of specialty — need to recognize and manage. Every internist, family physician, and emergency medicine doctor will see liver disease. This curriculum gives you the foundation to act on it.
Whether you're a medical student looking to go deeper, a faculty member interested in implementing a hepatology enrichment track, or an organization interested in the LIMES™ curriculum framework — we'd like to hear from you.
