Maintaining a thriving GI community is at the center of EndoscopyNow, and it becomes increasingly important as the global effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) evolve and reshape communications across the medical community.

With the changing healthcare environment and developing social restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19, EndoscopyNow is dedicated to continuing its mission as a reliable and alternative 24/7-available resource for comprehensive, on-demand GI education whether at your office or home.

At EndoscopyNow, our priorities continue to provide subscribers with relevant and current research, access to clinical literature, and video demonstrations on GI techniques. The EndoscopyNow team is also working closely with industry partners to assure the latest GI technological advancements and product information continue to become available on the EndoscopyNow App platform.

As many GI medical professionals experience reduced practice activity and elective patient procedures, take time to read your newsfeed and view video demonstrations by leading GI physicians. If you are new to the EndoscopyNow App, check out the Tutorial Library to get the most out of the experience at http://endoscopynow.com/help-and-tutorials/. Please share the EndoscopyNow App with your colleagues and nursing staff, encouraging them to sign up for their free subscription.
