Description du cours

This is a 30-minute accredited eCME program for Canadian HCPs. The goal of this program is to equip clinicians with knowledge about the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in primary care. GERD represents a significant public health burden and is one of the most common conditions treated in primary care.

GERD is a common condition that develops when the reflux of stomach contents causes troublesome symptoms (such as heartburn and regurgitation) and/or complications (such as Barrett’s esophagus, esophagitis, ulcer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma). Treatment for GERD aims to improve symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. This program will provide participants with key information and practical recommendations for patients with GERD.
