MCh Urology is structured as a three-year residency for postgraduate surgeons progressing into higher-specialty urological training.
Its stated aim is to prepare skilled urologists capable of providing comprehensive and efficient services for the management of urological problems.
The program sits beyond the standard MS postgraduate level. Applicants must first complete the specified postgraduate surgical qualification before becoming eligible for the MCh pathway.
The entrance examination also reflects this advanced stage of training by assessing Applied Basic Medical Science, General Surgery, Urology and other surgical subspecialties, research, medical ethics, communication, medical education, and medicolegal issues.
Duration: 3 years
