Negotiating the transition from trainee to consultant is one of the biggest steps in your career. The Young GESA Weekend is here to help you navigate it whilst tailoring your career to you. Join us on the Gold Coast for an event designed for young consultants, fellows and advanced trainees preparing for the leap (a time that will creep up quicker than you realise!). This is your chance to get practical, real-world tips and tricks, whilst networking with colleagues and future mentors... and perhaps even get some beachside R&R.


Explore often undiscussed essential topics for your early career:

  • Finding a career path that truly aligns with your goals (and figuring out what your goals are!)
  • Dipping your toes into the “business side” of medicine
  • Navigating tricky situations you’d usually run past your consultant (Oh wait, I’m the consultant!)
  • Helping to shape positive, sustainable change for the future
  • Adapting to a rapidly changing GI landscape.

Spots are limited. Register now and get ready to catch a wave to a brighter future.
