Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent yet often underdiagnosed condition that can lead to significant gastrointestinal and extra-esophageal complications if not identified and managed early. Effective care requires a clear understanding of the disease mechanism, clinical presentation, diagnostic considerations, and a structured treatment approach.
This learning module presents a practical, clinician-focused overview of GERD through two videos. The first video focuses on disease mechanisms, symptom patterns, and key diagnostic insights, enabling accurate recognition and risk stratification in routine practice. The second video addresses evidence-based management, outlining a stepwise approach that includes lifestyle modification, pharmacological therapy, and surgical options for refractory or complicated cases.
Together, these resources aim to support informed clinical decision-making, promote early intervention, and optimize long-term outcomes for patients with GERD.
