Program Director Message
The Department of Urology is a recognized residency program by College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan that provides the highest caliber of patient care. One of our core missions is to train the next generation of urologists and prepare them for careers in either academic or private practice urology. Clinical proficiency, integrity, and sensitivity to patient satisfaction are paramount. We take great pride in our legacy of fantastic residents who are motivated and driven to achieve excellence in clinical skills and scholarly activities. A strong work ethic and dedication to the program have helped us achieve notable accomplishments every year.
The foundation of our program is a diverse group of faculty that is committed to achieving the highest standards of residency education and training. Each faculty member has achieved national recognition within their fields of expertise. Faculty are on the leading edge of minimally-invasive surgical techniques including laparoscopy, laser lithotripsy, laser prostatectomy, microsurgery and cryotherapy of small renal masses. In addition to having a well-rounded clinical training experience, resident physicians have the opportunity to engage in numerous research projects ranging from basic and clinical studies to multidisciplinary quality improvement initiatives that impact patient safety and clinical outcomes.
We are strongly committed to excellence in residency education. Our goal is to create an environment that fosters learning and scholarly activity through a strong clinical and operative experience, a comprehensive didactic teaching curriculum and involvement in research and new surgical techniques. It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome our new residents, and it is with a great sense of accomplishment that we congratulate our recent residents who have contributed so much to the success and progress of our program
The goal of this comprehensive supervised training programme is to train competent Urologists in all aspects of Urology. At the end of the training, they should be able to practice Urology in a practical and cost-effective manner and be able to undergo further sub-specialized training in their areas of interest. There is a strong academic component with emphasis on research.
