Master of Surgey [M.S.]

SRM Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai also runs a Master of Surgery track, listed here as M.S., for MBBS graduates seeking specialised surgical training in a discipline the department is offering in a particular admission year. Alongside structured teaching, most of the learning happens on the wards and inside the operating theatre of the institute's hospital, where residents build competence in pre-operative assessment, surgical technique, and post-operative care under the guidance of senior consultants, and complete a thesis based on original clinical work. It is meant for MBBS graduates aiming to build a surgical career, whether that means consultant practice, further super-specialty training, or a move into teaching at a medical college later on. Training inside a large hospital in Chennai exposes residents to a broad and varied case load. As with the institute's other clinical postgraduate programmes, the number of seats sanctioned for this course is divided every session across the admission categories and quotas that apply, and the exact category-wise seat matrix is published separately by the admitting authority for that year, so candidates should treat only the current notice as authoritative.
