​​2021 In-Country Training Programs



​The Programs

PictureSome trainers and trainees from the 2018 Fiji program
There are currently no programs planned for 2021. The earliest we envisage an in-country program could be conducted is the second half of the year.

We are continuing to monitor the situation and consult with our Indo-Pacific partners and other bodies, e.g. the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, on what might be possible and when.

Our newsletters will provide updates.​

However, webinars and other means of remote support continue to be provided, with plans for further expansion in 2021.

What Trainer Costs are Covered?
​

For all trainers ANZGITA will reimburse the following expenses:
  • Accommodation including breakfast and dinner at the ANZGITA specified facility, or the equivalent cost if trainers select an alternative site.
  • Temporary Registration costs
  • Visa costs when this is applicable.
In addition, ANZGITA will reimburse the economy airfare of nurse trainers. Doctors on Pacific programs will also be reimbursed economy airfares due to Australian government funding being available.

All trainers are required to sign a Code of Conduct prior to departure and complete other forms that are required for registration and by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Am I Qualified?

All gastroenterologists and gastroenterology nurses practising in Australia or New Zealand are capable of being a trainer with ANZGITA – you will need no special qualifications apart from being adaptable and interested in helping our less fortunate colleagues in a less privileged settings.

One Last Thing

Some 100 medical and nursing trainers have contributed to the ANZGITA program over the past 12 years – many on multiple occasions.  Almost universally they have found it an extremely rewarding experience – if at times quite challenging.  We are always keen to include new trainers and ensure that trainers are from all regions of Australia and New Zealand, from both teaching and regional hospitals, from public and private sectors, of all ages and both genders.
