Good morning, and welcome back to many of you. Today is day two of the live stream event, ASG's annual GI Advanced Practice Provider course. In addition to experiencing a wonderful course today, each of you will have ongoing access to the recordings from the course via GILeap, ASG's online learning management system. Before the course directors officially kick off the day, a few housekeeping items. My name is Eden Essex and I will be the announcer for this course. This course has been approved for up to 15 AMA PRA Category 1 credits. To receive your CME certificate, you must complete the course evaluation for each day of attendance. The evaluation form will be available in GILeap one hour before the close of the course each day. After completing the evaluation, you will be able to immediately download the CME certificate. Your feedback is extremely helpful in shaping the future of ASG courses, and we appreciate your comments. Faculty disclosures can be found in your program materials, and all potential conflicts of interest were resolved prior to this course. Now it is my pleasure to introduce our course directors.

We're so pleased with the support this course has received all around and with the fantastic success of day one. We look forward to day two with great excitement. Advanced practice providers are crucial members of the GI team in trying to deliver high-quality care to our patients. Thank you for joining us this morning. This course has been very well attended, and we are very grateful for that. Also, thanks go out to Olympus Corporation for Americas for their support of this course, in part through an educational grant. We have an all-star faculty at this course, and without further ado, I will hand over the presentation to Sarah Ancelin, PA, who's my co-course director as well. Welcome, Sarah. Thank you, Dr. Kahl. The support this course has received truly is wonderful. We had a great first day. Looking forward to some more case-based clinical presentations today.
