Description:
This Continuing medical education activity is designed to bridge the practice gap existing in the treatment of esophageal disorders for those commonly seeing them (PCPs, general surgeons). Learners will be educated on the history of dysphagia, how to test, and therapies available, as well as its common causes and how to manage symptoms based on a patient’s cause.

Additionally, learners will understand common causes for the disease and how they can manage a patient’s symptoms and potential treatment options.

• Describe ways to evaluate, diagnose, and manage nodular Barrett's esophagus and early esophageal cancer;
• Describe ways to evaluate, diagnose, and manage non-nodular Barrett's esophagus;
• Explain the epidemiology and pathophysiology of Barrett's Esophagus;
• Identify the role of surgery in treating Barrett's Esophagus;
