Edukazzjoni u Riċerka
Teaching that is specific to how urology is practised in Malta — small cohorts, real cases, and guidance written by the people who will follow it.
Medical education (CME)
A monthly clinical meeting runs from October to June, built around case presentations, morbidity review and a short journal appraisal. Attendance is recorded for members' continuing professional development portfolios.
Practical workshops cover flexible ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy settings, transperineal prostate biopsy, urodynamics interpretation and ultrasound of the urinary tract. Places are limited so every participant works on a station rather than watching one.
A dedicated trainee track prepares higher surgical trainees for European board examinations, with viva practice, written question banks and mentoring pairs.
