WGO Training Centers
The World Gastroenterology Or-ganisation
(WGO) Training Centers
were established to offer trainees in
locations of need the opportunity to
enhance their skills and further their
education in gastroenterology, hepa-tology,
and related fields. Since the
first WGO Training Centers (TCs)
launched in 2001, the program has
grown to 23 TCs, with most located
in developing regions, including
eight on the African continent, six
in the Asian Pacific region, and six
in Central/South America. All 23
WGO Training Centers work around
the year with local GI units, WGO
Member Societies, and government
bodies to provide their respective re-gions
with the highest quality training
23 WGO Training Centers around the world.
in the field of digestive health. This
year, WGO introduced a new WGO
Scholar/Trainee program to these pres-tigious
Centers to encourage longer
training periods. This new program
allows TCs to nominate distinguished
trainees for WGO funding to con-tinue
their education at a WGO TC.
Together with this new WGO
Scholar/Trainee program, 2016 so far
has seen many exciting developments
in the Training Center program. These
range from some impressive courses
at the La Paz and Khartoum Training
Centers to the inauguration of two
new WGO Training Centers in Africa.
In conjunction with their inaugura-tion
ceremony, the Nairobi Training
Center in Kenya held an impressive
three day symposium, which included
WGO President, David Bjorkman,
among many distinguished lectur-ers.
With the launch of the Blantyre
Training Center in Malawi, WGO
gained its first Training Center located
in a country without a GI society. This
ambitious TC will work to create a
pool of GI professionals in a region
that currently does not have any na-tive
gastroenterologists. This together
is a small fraction of the inspiring
work going on at the WGO Train-ing
Centers, and we looks forward to
sharing their exciting developments in
the issues to come!
