Who Can Apply for a Urology Fellowship

Before comparing curricula, faculty, or learning formats, most doctors ask a simpler question first: "Am I eligible for a urology fellowship?" The answer depends on the program and the institution. Some fellowships are built for practising general surgeons who want structured academic learning; others target doctors pursuing subspecialty training. Understanding the criteria early helps you choose a fellowship that fits your qualifications and goals.

✓MS in General Surgery
✓DNB in General Surgery
