This is the
On-Demand version of the
ESD only Virtual course held on October 31, 2020.
The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) invite you to participate in this virtual course focusing on advanced endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) techniques taught by highly skilled experts, representing the largest team of outstanding masters in ESD ever assembled in this country. Learn from the masters, sit back and relax from the comfort of your home. Participants will be able to participate in live Q&A chats with the masters.
This audience-participating style will give audience “live demonstration” feel and create environment to think of the critical steps and planning and modifying techniques according to the location, size, and situation of the lesions.
This virtual course will offer advanced endoscopists who are performing ESD to engage in discussion with critique in ESD planning, tools, techniques and exchange ideas on how to improve advanced skills. In addition to hearing experts discuss ESD procedures, participants can take part in thinking the process of ESD critique displayed techniques and ask questions.

Optimal Viewing Experience on GI Leap
Because all browsers continually roll out new versions and updates, it is not always practical to point to a particular browser as "better" than another. Because browsers are free, you can easily shift from one to another for various purposes. Whatever browser you are using, here are some tips for better streaming and viewing of ASGE videos:
- Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
- 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.
- Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind.
- 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.
