Train the Trainers
Navigate this Section:
Overview
Goal
Wherever you are in the world, your experience as a trainee will be, in large part, influenced by the quality of input from your trainer. Despite the key role of trainers in the development of future gastroenterologists, it is evident that few, if any, have received formal instruction or training as educators. In an era when the shortcomings of many of the traditional approaches to post-graduate medical education and training have been exposed, this ad hoc approach to the education of our successors is no longer tenable.
The "Train the Trainers" (TTT) programme, developed by WGO attempts to correct this deficit. By bringing together trainers from across the globe in intensive and interactive 4 day sessions dedicated to the development of teaching and training skills, WGO has developed a forum for interaction between world leaders in education, for the sharing of experience and the discussion of common problems.

Programme/Faculty
Members of the TTT faculty have been carefully selected according to their experience as educationalists. Learn more
Participants
Participants are nominated by their national society, which must be a member of WGO. Learn more
Evaluation
All aspects of the course are subject to intensive, rigorous and continuous assessment and are refined on an ongoing basis accordingly. Acceptance to the workshop is accompanied by the commitment of each participant to providing 6-month and one-year post-workshop feedback in the form of a questionnaire. This information is collated and analysed and prepared for publication in education and training journals.
