In this high-yield Master Series episode, we explore a clinical case of a 69-year-old woman with progressive dysphagia to solids. Should you start a PPI, order manometry, or jump straight to endoscopy?

You’ll learn how to:
• Differentiate oropharyngeal vs esophageal dysphagia
• Recognize mechanical obstruction patterns
• Apply the dysphagia evaluation algorithm
• Avoid common delays in diagnosis
• Choose the right diagnostic test — and when to scope first
