This comprehensive course aims to provide a practical approach to understanding the most updated guidelines focusing on endoscopy and innovative techniques at the forefront of gastroenterology.  Sessions and faculty were thoughtfully curated to represent a variety of clinical backgrounds and perspectives on the most up-to-date management of important digestive disease states and the use of endoscopic techniques.  Topics will include post-ERCP pancreatitis, adverse events in EGD and EUS, management of cholangitis and hilar obstruction, the continued potential uses of AI in endoscopy, importance of health equity in the endoscopic suite, and the application of entry level and career learning using competency based medical education models.

We are offering the option to participate in-person or virtually from your home or office.  The ability to engage with faculty and participate in real-time Q&A sessions will be available in both formats. Course materials will be available prior to the start of the course. Upon completion you will receive access to the recording of each presentation along with downloadable pdf files of presentations in GI Leap. CME and ABIM MOC credits are available.  We look forward to your participation at this hybrid event.

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.
