Over the past few decades, hospitalists have become increasingly present across numerous specialties. GI hospitalists (GIH) are emerging as gastroenterologists who predominantly care for hospitalized patients with GI conditions. This webinar aims to provide an understanding of the GIH role, its potential benefits to modern practice in both the inpatient and outpatient landscape and offers a framework for creating a GIH program.

• To understand the evolving role of a GI hospitalist in modern hospital-based care
• To provide a practical roadmap for establishing a GI hospitalist program

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.
