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.
