This highly popular course was developed by ASGE to educate physicians and non-physician staff of endoscopy units on how to translate quality and safety concepts into everyday practice. Through a mixture of didactic lecture and interactive sessions taught by leading experts in the field, participants of the course will advance their knowledge of endoscopy unit quality and safety, as well as discuss emerging trends and evidence. They will also be prepared to apply for the ASGE Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program or be able to renew their current participation.

The live course was held on October 1, 2022.

• List 2-3 ways you can define and measure quality in endoscopy. 
• Recognize techniques described to make your endoscopy unit more efficient and safe.
• Indicate 1 method learned you could use to improve patient satisfaction in your endoscopy unit, specifically 
  areas that aid in doctor-patient communication.
• Define potential sources of infection from contact with various body fluids, transmissibility during endoscopic 
  procedure and the susceptibility to potential disinfectants.
• Discuss measures you could use within your unit quality assurance program, including sedation and monitoring 
  and unit accreditation and re-accreditation.

Although all browsers continually roll out new versions and updates, we currently recommend using Chrome for the best functionality when accessing GI Leap. Please note that Internet Explorer is not a supported browser. Follow these tips for better streaming and viewing of ASGE videos:

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.
