Tamil Nadu Urologists Assigned as Casualty Medical Officers Due to Vacancy Shortage

Twelve government urologists in Tamil Nadu who completed their M.Ch. Urology in 2025 have worked as casualty medical officers for nearly a year due to a lack of super specialty department vacancies.

The doctors have been providing emergency care and maintaining accident registries at government medical college hospital emergency departments.

While most postgraduates from the 2025 batch were assigned to parent departments, some urologists were placed in emergency roles, including at new medical colleges lacking super specialty wings.
