Urology is a surgical specialty focused on conditions of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. MCh-level training develops specialist decision-making and operative planning under supervision, along with disciplined perioperative care and follow-up routines.
The program runs inside a teaching ecosystem where clinical service, academic learning, and resident responsibilities are closely linked. CMS Teaching Hospital functions as the clinical teaching site and is identified as a tertiary-care facility with ICU and operating theatre complex support for trainees.
Kathmandu University governs the detailed syllabus and competency milestones for super-specialty programs. The urology curriculum is organized around:
specialty-level clinical assessment and case planning
perioperative coordination and postoperative monitoring
structured documentation and case presentation in academic settings
safe service practice under supervision in hospital workflows
A posting/rotation plan and procedural scope are defined for each intake year.
Clinical training is hospital-based and service-integrated. Residents learn through supervised duties in the clinical teaching environment, alongside academic activities such as case reviews, seminars, and topic discussions scheduled by the department and postgraduate system.
