The first Relay Run for Prostate Cancer was successfully conducted in November 2015 and it has now become an annual event with participation by many cancer survivors, care givers and public. This is to overcome the current shortage of Urologist in Malaysia while maintaining the quality of training.Īpart from training, MUA is also committed to engaging with the community, with the introduction of the Blue Cap Movement in 2015 and establishment of the Prostate Cancer Society Malaysia in 2016. This year we achieved another milestone in training with the introduction of the parallel training programme ( a programme conducted with Ministry of Health, Malaysia) to open up urology training to senior medical officers who have fulfilled the necessary entry requirements. Since then 42 urology trainees have been conferred FRCSG (Urol) on completion of the final examination. And then came a milestone with the introduction of The Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow examination in 2008. Qualified General Surgeons were enrolled to undergo a 4 year training programme under the Board of Urology, Malaysia. With the intent to focus on training of Urologist in Malaysia. It is with this unity that the Board of Urology was established in 2000. Although we are a society of only 110 members in 2017, we have evolved to become a strong association and our strength is in the unity that we have between urologists from Ministry of Health, Universities and the Private Sector. Since then we have grown to be a recognized sub-speciality in Malaysia.
