🩺 Master of Surgery (MS) – General Surgery

The MS (Master of Surgery) is a postgraduate program that equips medical graduates with advanced surgical skills and knowledge. It emphasizes operative techniques, patient management, research, and specialized surgical training.

The program covers advanced surgical anatomy, operative procedures, trauma care, laparoscopic and robotic surgery, critical care management, oncology surgery, and transplant techniques. Students undergo rigorous hospital-based surgical training.

• Advanced pre-operative and post-operative patient care
• Trauma and emergency surgical procedures
• Laparoscopic and minimally invasive techniques
• Surgical oncology and organ transplantation basics
• Critical care and ICU patient management
• Research methodology and clinical trials
• Team leadership in operation theatres

• Hands-on surgical training in operation theatres
• Rotations in specialized surgical departments
• Workshops on laparoscopic and robotic surgery
• Seminars, journal clubs, and research presentations
• Mentorship under senior surgeons
• Case-based discussions and surgical grand rounds

• Practical surgical examinations
• Clinical case presentations and viva voce
• Logbook evaluation of performed surgeries
• Dissertation/thesis submission and defense
• Continuous assessment during residency training

MS graduates can work as surgeons in multispecialty hospitals, trauma centers, and academic institutions. They can also specialize further in neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, plastic surgery, urology, or pursue international fellowships.

Surgery overlaps with radiology, anesthesiology, pathology, and biomedical technology, fostering innovation in minimally invasive techniques and patient recovery care.

By the end of the program, students will be able to:

• Independently perform common and complex surgical procedures
• Manage surgical emergencies and trauma cases
• Apply modern surgical technologies (laparoscopy, robotics)
• Conduct clinical research and publish findings
• Train and mentor junior doctors in surgical practice
