Australian & New Zealand Gastro and Oesophageal Surgery Association (ANZGOSA)

The Australian and New Zealand Gastric and Oesophageal Surgery Association (ANZGOSA) was formed in 2006, to provide a vehicle for improving the surgical management of diseases of the stomach, oesophagus and upper gastrointestinal tract.

The goals of the ANZGOSA are to:

• Further develop and promote the specialty practice of upper gastrointestinal surgery within Australia and new Zealand.
• Organise appropriate educational activities.
• Promote multidisciplinary engagement.
• Organise fellowships and other post-FRACS fellowship training opportunities for surgeons seeking additional training in upper gastrointestinal surgery.
• Promote, and potentially coordinate, research (particularly clinical).
• Interact with government and other professional organisations.
• Construct and publish clinical guidelines.
