The department is actively involved in teaching of undergraduates,
post-graduates of surgery and gynecology and M.Ch. program for Urology. We have made a structured
teaching program for the students and rely heavily on audio-visual aids and computers.
Undergraduate Teaching
The Undergraduates teaching program is conducted under various forms like
ward teaching, short clinics, lectures. In ward teaching the students are shown patients and how to
reach a diagnosis after history, examination and investigations. Short clinics have a structured
program.
Post-Graduate Teaching
The department runs a formal teaching program which is conducted 3-days a week. This program includes a teaching seminar on Saturday, journal paper discussion (journal club) on Tuesday and Operative chat on Thursday. This program is run between 8 and 9 AM. The M.Ch. students maintain 'log book' about their academic program and also the operative program.
The M.Ch. students are encouraged to think independently, to develop the
habit of reading journals and be sensitive to the patients.
There is a 'resident's competency evaluation system' and a
theory test is conducted every year. The department is trying to provide more journals so that the
students have access to all available literature.
3. Nursing Teaching & Training Programme
Nursing Teaching & Training Programme to orient them in the field of
Urology for better pre, intra and postoperative care of patients is being conducted on regular
intervals.
4. Ph.D. Students
The department runs a robut PhD program also. Each year students enroll in
this program that is co-ordinated by the Research Cell. A separate room with various lab facilities
exists for the PhD students who usually work on basic research topics. List Of Ph.D. Students Of

7. Museum
The in-house museum at urology department contains various Old Classical Urology Instruments, books, and specimens that provide a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of medical practices. These artifacts, often relics of a bygone era, narrate the story of urology’s historical progression. Books written by our predecessors and the people who laid foundation of this urology department provide insight into past. Instruments like lithotrities and cystoscopes, showcase the ingenuity of early medical minds. Specimens, such as various types of stones and pathologies of genitourinary tract, preserved for educational purposes, bridge the gap between past and present, allowing us to appreciate the strides made in understanding urological conditions. Exploring these relics illuminates the journey of urology, highlighting the perseverance of medical pioneers who paved the way for modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The museum also harbours various patient information and education booklets written by older faculty of our department.
