30 WORLD GASTROENTEROLOGY NEWS JULY 2016 Editorial | Expert Point of View | Gastro 2016: EGHS-WGO | WDHD News | WGO & WGOF News | WGO Global Guidelines | Calendar of Events Announcing Train the Trainers Ras al-Khaimah Applications are now open for the next WGO Train the Trainers Work-shop! The World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) in partnership with the Emirates Gastroenterology & Hepatology Society (EGHS) is pleased to announce that the next Train the Trainers workshop will take place in gorgeous Ras Al-Khaimah, UAE 21-24 November 2016. The application process is now open, and WGO invites all Member Societies to nominate two physicians for this workshop who are both fluent in English and leaders or up and com-ing leaders in their field (Gastroenter-ology, Endoscopy, Hepatology or GI Surgery). All participants must be able to attend the entire workshop, with arrivals on 20 November and depar-tures anytime on 25 November 2016. We ask that candidate nominations be submitted by a WGO Member Soci-ety representative. Please note space is very limited, and this workshop is considered a benefit of WGO Mem-bership, as such preference will be given to societies who have paid their WGO membership dues through 2015. We invite you to nominate your candidates before Monday, 22 September 2016. Since 2001, the Train the Trainers (TTT) program, developed by WGO, exposes educators in gastroenterol-ogy, hepatology, endoscopy, oncology and GI surgery to current educational techniques and philosophies. It brings together faculty and participants from across the globe in an intensive and interactive four day workshop. The workshop is characterized by numer-ous hands-on sessions with ample opportunity for discussion and inter-change. This has proven to be a highly successful method of disseminating teaching skills to GI physicians who hold training positions in their own countries. Delegates are equipped with skills which they can then implement in their countries. For further details on this work-shop, please visit our TTT Upcoming Workshop web page.
