All right. Good morning, everybody. Just got really quiet with the music turning off. Hopefully the online folks are slowly trickling in as well. Welcome to the ASGE Advanced Endoscopic Lesion and Resection Hybrid Course. So on behalf of my course co-director, Raj Keshwani, from Northwestern, and myself, we'd like to thank everybody for joining today. Next slide. We'd also really like to thank our esteemed faculty for coming all the way out to Downers Grove and helping us put together the content for the course. ASGE requires all who are in a position to direct content from this program to disclose all relevant financial relationships with any commercial interests, ACC, ME, defined ineligible companies. All disclosures have been mitigated, and a list of disclosures can be found in your course materials. This course is supported in part by educational grants from Boston Scientific, Fujifilm, Medtronic, Microtech Endoscopy USA, and Olympus Corporation of the Americas. Please make sure to stop by and chat with the representatives from Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation, Microtech Endoscopy, Olympus Corporation for the Americas, and Apollo Endosurgery. Our ASGE DEI commitment, we'd like to raise your own awareness related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, while working also to raise awareness in your institution, practice, and the communities you serve. Before we get started, just a few housekeeping items. Please take a moment to look at your name badge. You've been assigned to either a group A, which is the red dot, or a group B, which is the blue dot. We ask that you follow the schedules you've been assigned. I'm sure there'll be some confusion about it, so just ask one of us and we will be sure to help you. And there will be hands-on sessions both afternoons, and that's where the red dot and the blue dot come into play. To enter the Bioskills Lab, go through the main restrooms, which are kind of right in the back there, proceed to the locker room, and then go on to the lab. Local gowns are available once you enter the lab, and lab coats are reserved for faculty. Food and drinks are not allowed in the lab, but lockers and a table are available in the locker room to store your things. Please ask questions. So we want to make this course as interactive as possible, and ask as many questions as you can come up with. For the virtual participants, please use the Q&A box on Zoom to submit questions. For those of you who are on-site, if you're asking questions, you should see near your table little buttons on the microphone there. If you can use that to ask your questions, we'll try and rephrase them when they get to us. But push the button labeled Push to speak directly into the microphone, and to turn off to follow the same steps. Please note that this program is being recorded and will be posted on GILeap, ASG's online learning management platform. You'll have ongoing access to this recording in GILeap as part of your registration. We ask that you please silence your mobile devices if you haven't already. At the conclusion of this course, we'd appreciate receiving your feedback. Please complete the course evaluation located on GILeap, and this course has been approved for 14 AMA Category 1 credits. And so enjoy the course.
