CAG Visiting Professors

Each year, the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology proudly recognizes two exceptional members through the Visiting Clinical Professorship and Visiting Research Professorship awards. These honours support national knowledge exchange by enabling recipients to visit centres across Canada, sharing expertise in education, research, and clinical practice. Each Visiting Professor is expected to visit at least six centres across the country.

Book your visit today and take advantage of this unique opportunity to engage with leaders in Canadian gastroenterology.
