The MS – Ophthalmology programme at Symbiosis Medical College for Women, Pune is part of the postgraduate medical courses introduced from the academic year 2025-26, following approval by the National Medical Commission to commence PG programmes. This three-year surgical course trains specialists in eye care, focusing on clinical diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of eye disorders, and vision correction techniques. Training combines theoretical learning with extensive clinical exposure — including outpatient services, operating theatre experience, and eye disease management — at the Symbiosis University Hospital & Research Centre (SUHRC), the college’s tertiary care teaching hospital. The department emphasises ethical clinical practice, community eye care initiatives, patient-centred approaches, and research in ophthalmic sciences. Although Ophthalmology is part of the broader clinical training environment, note that approval for seats in this specialty may vary by academic year, so applicants should confirm current seat availability during counselling.
