Urology Training Pathway

Medical School


During medical school, you can start gathering evidence to build your portfolio for Core Surgical & Speciality Training applications. Things you can do during medical school to improve your chances at the core surgical training application point:


  • Elect to take a Student Selected Component (SSC) in Urology
  • Identify a Urology trainee/consultant as a mentor 
  • Get involved with a surgical research project
  • Conduct a surgical audit project
  • Become a member of a national Urology society
  • Attend Urology Conferences
  • Begin to build your surgical eLogbook


Foundation Years


Foundation year training is 2 years (FY1 & FY2) – during this time, there are a variety of ways to further build a competitive portfolio to separate yourself from other candidates:


  • Elect for a Urology surgical rotation – this may not always be possible, an alternative:
  • Elect for a taster week in Urology, where you can have time off from another rotation to experience Urology
  • Sit your MRCS Part A as a first step towards completing the Membership of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons
  • Design & contribute to teaching for medical students and keep evidence of feedback
  • Attend educational courses to show your commitment to learning 
  • Continue building your surgical eLogbook
