World Gastroenterology Organisation

The world congress of gastroenterology (wcog) is wgo's annual meeting organized in partnership with a host member society. Smaller regional meetings may also be organized with societies in interim years or in years where a world congress is not scheduled.

The train the trainers - the train the trainers is a highly successful program designed to disseminate teaching skills to those gastroenterologists who hold training positions in their own countries. Delegates are equipped with both skills and tools which they can then implement on their home ground. Not only has this workshop been enthusiastically received by all wgo member societies around the world, it continues to provide an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas and the establishment of contacts between various countries, in an environment which is conducive to learning and interaction.

Wgo's other primary programs are the digestive disease week, smaller meetings & events, and content production for wgo publications and the wgo website.
