AWIG's first meeting was in 1987 in Kingston, Jamaica, in association with the Medical Association of Jamaica. The Association holds an International Postgraduate Course each year, usually in a different Caribbean island.
Registration is limited so as to allow for meaningful interaction with a world class faculty, and an excellent social program is an integral part of each meeting.
The Purposes of the Association are:
- To educate the medical profession in the region about gastrointestinal diseases, enabling them to upgrade their skills at the primary care level.
- To improve the skills of its members.
- To foster research in gastrointestinal diseases in the region.

On the Eastern tip of the ‘Big Island’ sits Abaco Beach Resort at Boat Harbour, a mixture of water front rooms, cottages nestled among native trees, marina front condominiums and a collection of three bedroom family homes..
