Good morning and welcome back to many of you. Today is day two of the ASG Livestream event, Advanced Practice Provider Onboarding for the GI Practice. 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 platform. You already have a GILeap account. It's where you logged in for the meeting e-syllabus. In the near future, the recordings from the course will populate that account and we'll let you know when they're available. 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. You will be able to submit questions and share comments during the course in two ways. First, you can submit a question at any time online by using the question box on the right-hand side of your screen. If you do not see the question box, please click the white arrow in the orange box located on the right-hand side of your screen. The second way is to raise your hand. You can do this by clicking on the hand icon on the right-hand side of your screen. You will be unmuted and able to ask your question to the presenter or panel during this designated question and answer periods. We recommend that if you choose this option, you are in a quiet place with no additional background noise. This course has been approved for up to 15.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credits. To receive your CME certificate, you must complete the course evaluation. This evaluation is also one of our feedback mechanisms, so we'd love to hear from you your candid feedback. Is the virtual course working for you? Would you like to see the option to have it in-person, so virtual or in-person? If you would like to see a hands-on component, anything you want to give us, this course is built for you. So please complete the evaluation, not only to give us the feedback on the presentations, but also looking forward. The evaluation form will be available in GILeap one hour before the close of the course. 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. Comment on faculty members as well as 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. Dr. Aaron Shields is the managing partner at Rockford Gastroenterology Associates. He specializes in liver disease and disorders of the biliary system and pancreas. Sarah Enslin is a physician assistant at the University of Rochester Medical Center. She is a lead advanced practice provider for a large academically-based group within the gastroenterology and hepatology division. In addition to administrative responsibilities, Sarah has a busy clinical practice. I will now turn the proverbial floor over to Dr. Shields. Well, thanks, Eden. You know, we're really excited to get started today. This content is really driven by feedback from last year's attendees, and honestly, I'd say this was a lot of fun to put this all together, wouldn't you say, Sarah? Absolutely. I think this was one of the biggest challenges and the most fun parts of it.
