This provided a practical and comprehensive method for Evidence Based Medicine and Critical Ap-praisal. Presentation and Communication skills As a teacher or trainer we often do presentations or lectures to give core materials to our students, but some-times we don’t really use the right presentation methods to achieve our goal. In this TTT the faculty dem-onstrated the most effective way for presentation. It is important for us as teachers because lecturing has a low retention rate in students, especially if the presentation method is not good. Teaching Procedural Skill As endoscopists we may do our procedures well and correctly, but to teach others to perform as we do is another task. In the Teaching Proce-dural Skills workshop we learned the correct methods to teach the trainee. This opportunity opened our horizons to the idea that verbalization of the procedure steps is important both for the teacher and trainee. New Methods for Teaching (e-Learning) In recent years we have witnessed an increasing number of new modalities for our teaching, such as podcasts. In this new topic the faculty dem-onstrated to us how to make a good podcast and other e-learning tools that will benefit both the teacher and the student. Overall the WGO Train the Train-ers program was very useful for us gastroenterology teachers. With the extraordinary hospitality from the Gastroenterological Society of Taiwan (GEST) as a host for this event, we feel very fortunate to have been able to participate in this event and we will spread the ideas in this workshops to our fellow gastroenterologists in our country.
