Training centers - to establish and nurture core training centers for primary and advanced Gastroenterology (gi) training in locations of need, thereby, improving the standard of training at the grass roots level while ensuring a focus on regionally-relevant diseases.

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

Wgo global guidelines - the wgo guidelines library contains practice guidelines written from a viewpoint of global applicability. Wgo guidelines go through a rigorous process of authoring, editing, and peer review and are as evidence based as possible.

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.
