Selection Regulations
Important Update: Clinical Examination Requirement
Starting with the 2026 selection process (for the 2027 intake), the Clinical Examination will no longer be a requirement for entry into the Surgical Education and Training (SET) Program in Urology. However, applicants who have successfully passed the Clinical Examination up to and including the June 2025 sitting will still have this achievement formally recognised, as it will be incorporated into the curriculum vitae scoring when the updated Selection Regulations are published in November 2025. This recognition will continue to apply in future selection rounds.
