This program spans a direct course of 6 years post-MBBS, aligning with the ethos of selfless service and compassion advocated by Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
Two Years, Then Three, Then a Centre of Excellence
The 6-year course is meticulously structured as 2 years of General Surgery and Allied specialties, followed by examination conducted by NBE. The subsequent 3 years focus on Cardiovascular and Thoracic specialties, providing comprehensive training in operative skills and clinical techniques.
In the final year of the program, residents will be placed in a centre of excellence, where they will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals and further refine their skills. This phase is designed to provide residents with the highest level of training, equipping them to excel in their chosen field and make meaningful contributions to the medical community.
Throughout the program, residents will be assessed regularly, ensuring that they meet the high standards set by the National Board of Examinations and the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences.
Residents undergo rigorous training in operative skills and clinical techniques, guided by the belief that hands-on experience is paramount in healing and learning.
