Education
AOGIN has four main areas of activity
-
Collaboration and Research
The scientific committee (a group comprising Asia-Oceania clinical and scientific experts) develops and encourages collaboration on clinical and basic research projects, as well as seeking collaboration with other organisations.
-
Scientific Exchanges, Education and Training
The multi-disciplinary nature of this organisation means that AOGIN is a forum for exchanging views and for cooperation between partners. It recognizes that there are different levels of research capabilities in each country of the region and AOGIN works to support the countries according to their requirements.
AOGIN is a teaching and information platform for physicians, patients and public authorities.
AOGIN commissions medical practice surveys with the aim of assessing practice effectiveness. Follow-up support is provided, and advice and recommendations are made to enhance good medical practice and improve financial management.
AOGIN achieves this by:
- Organising international congresses
- Promoting courses and workshops reviewing current clinical practice, new data and technical developments in cervical cancer screening technology and management;
- Prepares training sessions to encourage specialised centres to develop screening programmes;
- Co-ordinates and supports consensus meetings and expert panels on issues encountered in everyday practice.
Organises satellite symposia at major international conferences and encourages the exchange of information with other specialist organisations in this field.
