Dysphagia is a prevalent condition in the elderly population and a significant burden on the healthcare sector. Dysphagia, defined as the difficulty of swallowing, is characterized based on the location of the pathology (oropharyngeal or oesophageal). While oropharyngeal dysphagia is due to structural, anatomical, and neuromuscular abnormalities, oesophageal dysphagia can be attributable to motility disorders.

Target audience
This course is suitable for gastroenterologists in training, but it is also appropriate for physicians and surgeons in other disciplines who have an interest in dysphagia, as well as nurses, biotechnicians and advanced-years’ medical students who have an interest in gastroenterology.
