About the WGO Train the Trainers Program: Developed by WGO in 2001, this workshop concentrates on expanding the educational skills of educators in the fields of gastroenterology, hepa-tology, endoscopy, and GI surgery, who are responsible for teaching, through the use of current educational techniques and philosophies. It brings together faculty and participants from across the globe in an intensive and interactive workshop, characterized by numerous hands-on sessions with ample opportunity for discussion. An ability to communicate proficiently in English is an essential component within the breakout sessions as well as contributes to the overall success of the workshop. Please note that TTT workshops include the following modules: • Adult Education • Group Discussions • Teaching Procedural Skills • Professionalism • Preparation of an Abstract • e-Learning • Evidence-based Medicine • Critical Appraisal • Publications • Presentations • Trial Design • Assessment and Appraisal • Credentialing • Interpersonal Skills and Teamwork • Writing Multiple Choice Questions Participants are required to engage actively in all sessions and social func-tions; hence they are required to at-tend all workshop days. In addition to fully participating in the program, we require that participants commit to the completion of the pre-workshop questionnaire, on-site evaluation, and post-workshop evaluation. Their responses assist WGO in best meeting their expectations prior to the work-shop commencement and also serve as data that WGO compiles to measure the impact of TTTs overall contribu-tion to continuing education.
