You Are Invited to a CME/CPE/CE Teleconference
Introduction
Despite advances in pharmacologic strategies and updates in evidence-based treatment guidelines, primary care clinicians face a host of challenges in diagnosing and managing patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In addition, clinicians must be able to identify a variety of GERD patient types and address the unique needs of each individual.
A recent survey of US-based primary care physicians showed that there is much confusion about various aspects of GERD diagnosis and treatment. This evidence-based activity will outline and discuss the importance of the patient-clinician relationship in managing GERD and will arm clinicians with important questions to ask their patients in a variety of fundamental areas, ranging from symptoms to concomitant medication use. Implementing better communication strategies can help empower primary care clinicians to improve their overall management in GERD patients.
Expert faculty will discuss common GERD cases that clinicians may face in an interactive and practical 1-hour teleconference. This activity will also provide participants the opportunity to discuss implementing effective management and ongoing care for the individual GERD patient.
