The GERD course was detailed, easy to understand, and very practical for pharmacy and healthcare students. It explained the causes of gastroesophageal reflux disease, common symptoms, diagnostic methods, and both lifestyle and medical treatment options. The lessons on PPIs, H2-blockers, antacids, and patient counseling were especially useful. Visual diagrams and case studies made learning interesting. Quizzes helped test understanding and the final assessment was straightforward. The course also highlighted red-flag symptoms that need urgent medical attention, which added clinical value. Overall, the content was clear, up to date, and helpful for real-life patient care. I recommend it to beginners.
