"The passion I have developed for this unique volunteer trainer experience, traveling with like-minded physicians and sharing my skills and friendship, has become part of me. Not only have I been bitten by the bug, but I am completely infected by it! |
Please select the appropriate registration of interest button above and an experienced ANZGITA trainer will be in touch.
Clinicians attend for one or two weeks depending on the length of the training program. Trainers for specific programs are supported through the logistics of preparation and given background information before departing. All trainers and volunteers associated with a program are required to adhere to our Code of Conduct. It and examples of printed material are below.
Physicians are trained in endoscopy skills and organisation. Medical training is through lectures, tutorials and involvement in clinical practice such as ward rounds. In Fiji, the program is run as part of a post-graduate study module offered by the School of Medicine at the Fiji National University. Nurses’ training is through lectures and skills practise, predominantly in the safe delivery of endoscopy through the introduction of the standards and competency benchmarks, and in unit management. Feedback from trainers is collected after each program.
ANZGITA reimburses all trainers for their accommodation, registration and visa costs. For nurses, we also cover travel costs. Every participant is covered by our travel and other insurances. See the trainers' information page.
Some 50 medical and nursing trainers have contributed to the ANZGITA program over the past 10 years – many on multiple occasions. Almost universally they have found the experience extremely rewarding – 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.
If you would like to know more before registering, please email us and an experienced trainer will respond.
In considering your desire to undertake voluntary work, please also consider Australian Doctors for Africa who work in gastroenterology in Madagascar and Doctors Assisting in Solomon Islands who work across the nation in many medical areas.
