Observership in Urolithiasis

The Observership in Urolithiasis, under the specialty of Urology, is designed to provide healthcare professionals with focused exposure to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of urinary stone disease (urolithiasis). The duration of the observership typically ranges from 1 to 3 months, but may vary depending on the institute offering the program. The curriculum includes observing the evaluation of patients with kidney stones and understanding the latest techniques in minimally invasive surgery such as ureteroscopy, shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Participants also learn about preventive strategies and medical management of stone disease.
