Course Description:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common chronic, relapsing condition that carries a risk of significant morbidity and possible mortality from resultant complications. The lack of a gold standard in the diagnosis of GERD presents a clinical dilemma in treating patients with reflux symptomatology. This CME activity helps clinicians understand and implement a cost-effective and evidence-based strategy for the diagnosis and treatment of GERD reflux disease. The educational material provides useful summaries on practical aspects of care, including an algorithm for steps in diagnosis and treatment, atypical and warning signs, and information on pharmacologic therapy.

Educational Objectives:
Participants in this CME activity will understand and be able to implement evidence-based cost-effective clinical strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of GERD in adults.

• CME : 1

This self-study activity is appropriate for primary care clinicians and other health care providers involved in the diagnosis and treatment of GERD in adults.
