What does USIG mean in STUDENTS

USIG stands for Urology Student Interest Group, which is a student organization focused on advocating for and supporting students interested in Urology as a medical specialty. We host and organize events to provide our members with networking opportunities, as well as educational seminars related to Urology.

All students who are currently enrolled in medical school, or any healthcare-related programs, are eligible to join USIG. This includes those studying general medicine, nursing and other related disciplines.

USIG focuses on providing our members with learning opportunities that enable them to gain an understanding of the field of urology. Through various activities such as guest speaker sessions and conferences, we aim to offer our members the latest information and updates about developments in the field. Additionally, we also organize meetups and networking sessions with established urologists from around the world so that our members may gain valuable insights into the profession.

Membership application forms can be found in our website, which must be filled out and submitted online or via mail with appropriate payment made for annual membership fees. Upon successful submission of the form and payment fees, you will receive an email mentioning your successful membership enrollment.

Yes - All USIG members are entitled to priority seating at all conferences/events hosted by us throughout the year apart from discounts on travel expenses for other conferences attended by members outside their home country if they are selected through a competitive process among all applicants wishing to attend such events.

Yes - At present, we offer two mentorship programs - one specifically designed for undergraduate students considering urology as their major profession while another one geared towards postgraduate students who would like career advice or clinical guidance from experienced practitioners in this field. Both these programs consist of semi-regular calls between mentors/mentees about relevant topics related to urology over Skype/telephone or face-to-face meetings when possible so that both parties may benefit from each other’s experience and knowledge base regarding urological matters.

Yes – We provide various research opportunities throughout the year for undergraduates (in collaboration with universities) and postgraduates (in collaboration with established researchers). Depending upon your qualifications & interests you may be able to participate either as an intern/fellow/scholar depending upon how far along you are in terms of your studies & academic background.

From time to time we do receive offers for positions within academic institutions (research or teaching) or health care organizations requiring experience in the field of Urology but at present these positions aren't actively advertised through us however if desired we can forward your resume should such openings arise.

While we don't directly award scholarships ourselves we try assist in identifying philanthropic organizations offering scholarships related specifically towards urological studies that could potentially help fund tuition costs associated with pursuing studies related towards it..
