Specialty-specific

Surgical branches require documented procedure counts. Medical branches emphasise case presentations and clinical write-ups. Radiodiagnosis needs a reporting-count minimum.

Frequently asked questions

What if I'm short on a procedure count?

Discuss with your HOD immediately. Extensions and remedial rotations are possible but must be documented.

Does the exit exam check the logbook?

Yes. Examiners review the logbook before the viva and can ask about specific entries.
