“GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE IS VERY FREQUENT WORLDWIDE. ITS INCIDENCE IS INCREASING AND, IN RECENT YEARS, THERE HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES IN ITS DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION.
IN TURN, MANY NEW METHODOLOGIES HAVE APPEARED. THAT’S WHY. THE OBJECTIVE WE PURSUED WITH THIS CONSENSUS WAS TO MAKE AN EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH OF EVIDENCE TO DETERMINE THE USEFULNESS OF ALL THESE AVAILABLE METHODOLOGIES AT THE LEVEL OF THE DIAGNOSIS OF REFLUX DISEASE.
WE HOLD A MEETING WITH GROUPS OF EXPERTS TO DISCUSS DIFFERENT POINTS THAT ARE REFLECTED IN THE CONSENSUS. AND TO BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH THE LEVELS OF EVIDENCE AND THE STRENGTH OF RECOMMENDATION”

In accordance with the philosophy of the AEG, we have designed a transversal curriculum to facilitate continuing medical education for clinicians with an interest in research. This course will cover from the most theoretical aspects associated with biostatistics, legal issues related to the ethical aspects of research and data protection and, of course, the communication of results. The course starts in October, a teaching unit will be opened weekly and will be open until June. Accreditation of this activity with European continuing medical education credits has been requested.
