Acid reflux affects an estimated one in five adults in the United States, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and undertreated conditions in clinical practice. This continuing education course goes beyond the basics of heartburn management to give healthcare professionals a comprehensive, clinically grounded understanding of both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), two distinct conditions that require different approaches to recognition, diagnosis, and management. Learners will explore the pathophysiology behind each condition, compare their often-overlapping signs and symptoms, and examine the full spectrum of diagnostic tools used in practice, from upper endoscopy to esophageal manometry. The course covers first-line treatment options including proton pump inhibitors, H-2 blockers, and the emerging class of potassium-competitive acid blockers, alongside current AGA best practice guidance on prescribing and de-prescribing. Evidence-based dietary, behavioral, and surgical interventions are also addressed. With a strong focus on patient-centered care planning, realistic goal-setting, and effective education strategies, this course equips clinicians to improve outcomes, prevent serious complications, and confidently support patients in managing acid reflux for the long term.
