The importance of colonoscopy as the only test that can directly prevent colorectal cancer was reinforced recently with the release of the updated US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations. Attend the webinar to hear a summary of the recommendations, along with other important aspects of screening and the value of colonoscopy. The ASGE Value of Colonoscopy (VOC) task force has developed educational materials, informational videos and strategies to promote the value of colonoscopy to your patients and to your referring internists. GI units are encouraged to leverage the available resources and tools to join the outreach effort.

1. Understand the latest USPSTF guidelines
2. Identify appropriate use of Mt-sDNA testing
3. Gain insight into quality indicators for screening colonoscopy
4. Access tools and resources to promote effectiveness of colonoscopy to internists and patients

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
