Gain a wealth of information, data and comparisons of endoscopic and surgical procedures available for the treatment of key upper gastrointestinal disorders. Experts will provide several perspectives on current uses of procedures and disease-state management, such as: 

• GERD
• Achalasia
• Esophageal spasm
• Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF)
• Barrett’s Esophagus
• Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

In addition, residents, fellows and other researchers are invited to submit poster proposals for presentation throughout the course with $750 cash awards for best in category. An overall poster presentation will be selected with a cash award of $1,250.

Poster categories of interest include:

• GERD
• Barrett’s Esophagus
• EoE
• Achalasia
• Artificial Intelligence and robotics 

Participants will be able to:

• Compare and contrast important clinical issues on treatment algorithms that classify GERD into reflux esophagitis and non-erosive reflux disease, and the clarification of treatment algorithms based on the severity of reflux esophagitis
• Understand common workup and management of esophageal cancers, including obstruction and bleeding
• Discuss various endoscopic and surgical evaluations of common upper GI disease states and cancer
• Identify trends in the advancement of endoscopy and surgical approaches for the diagnostic and therapeutic roles in motility disorders
• Assess the use of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) tools and systems in upper GI disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and motility disorders

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.
