Our Principles

Picture
The intensive training programs at the core of ANZGITA's activities have been built on seven principles articulated by Prof Robert Moulds, who at the time of the initial planning meetings in Suva was Chair of Medicine at the Fiji School of Medicine, and physician academic Assoc Prof Jioji Malani.
  1. The training should be predominantly provided in Fiji. “Brain drain” of highly trained doctors has been a major issue in Fiji.
  2. The design and implementation should be responsive to articulated needs from the Fiji School of Medicine (FSM).
  3. The program should be a skills and knowledge transfer (teaching) program, not a service delivery program.
  4. The program also addresses the needs of the region, where articulated, and trainees from the region are welcome.
  5. ANZGITA assistance is provided pro bono.
  6. A spread of age groups of Australians and New Zealanders is encouraged to ensure sustainability.
  7. GI Endoscopy Nurses are recognised for their valuable role in endoscopy training and service delivery.

These principles have been retained as additional programs have been established in other countries.

Curricula have been developed, enhanced or supported in each setting in collaboration with local academic or hospital teams. We are evolving programs with new tele-education webinars.
